Many businesses have had to shut down, layoff, or furlough employees temporarily. The Los Angeles Business Source Center needed a CRM solution that could track a diverse group of businesses, ranging from small food truck businesses to tech startups and everything in between. The need for financial support for these businesses was critical, especially for those in the essential business category, which experienced disruptions in their typical revenue and needed critical financial support. 

Utilizing Launchpad, the Los Angeles Business Source Center was able to search through their businesses database, view their history, and quickly help businesses apply for grants and government loans. Launchpad’s powerful tools also provided the Los Angeles Business Source Center the capabilities to conduct robust data tracking, providing information on the number of jobs saved and the amount of financial assistance businesses were receiving.

Furthermore, LA City Council members could see the direct impact in exact dollar amounts that their loans had on their constituent’s businesses and districts. Launchpad is proud to have played a significant role in providing access to local business assistance in South Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, and areas in the San Fernando Valley.

Launchpad’s comprehensive programs enabled the Los Angeles Business Source Center to view the critical data they needed. They saved many jobs and helped further maintain a prosperous economy and strong community for Los Angeles.
