Small businesses in Gilbert are seeing how they “size up,” with a new, free online tool offered by the Gilbert Economic Development Department. The SizeUp SBI tool allows users to access information that could help their business, including demographics information, competitor locations, potential workforce, and more.

At a launch party on Thursday, small business owners learned more about the tool and were able to try it out. JW Rayhons, with Rayhons Financial Solutions, says he enjoys using the tool for his financial clients.

“This tool really allowed us to provide something valuable to our clients that didn’t have that level of resources,” he said. “Thank you to the Economic Development Department for putting this together and bringing this resource to the business community.”

Anyone can access the free tool by going to Gilbert Economic Development Department website, www.gilbertedi.com.
