Members of the Alabama Small Business Development Center are headed down to lend a helping hand.

Eight certified business counselors will be in Gulf Shores, Mobile, and Bayou la Batre, to help with a variety of issues.

"The people we're sending down have experience working with companies on financing options, that's evaluating their current business situation, cash flow planning, trying to identify opportunities for them to recover from and get past the disaster," says Michael Brooks, Assistant Director of the Alabama International Trade Center.

The counselors, who are based on the University of Alabama campus, will be helping those in the restaurant, hospitality, and fishing industries, along with any others who need help.
