Services

The Trust works with companies to evaluate business plans/opportunities and provide management assistance as well as capital.  In the evaluation phase, an officer from The Trust will meet with management to learn about the company and the challenges it faces.  In some instances, The Trust can participate with the company in hiring independent consultants to assist management in focusing on those challenges.  The Trust is also a provider of capital, helping companies move on to firm financial footing, ensuring that Massachusetts jobs are not at risk.
