Company Profile
This page is therefore a historical profile, with no shop box and no official-site button: the services, seminars and article trail of the FBI years are summarised below and kept in full on the history page.
The FBI Provides list in the historical record is a complete small-business support programme in eight lines: professional development, mentoring, business and management training to owners of apparel businesses; job training and job retraining to help manufacturers and their employees retain and retrain for future growth; networking and introductions to industry services, resources, suppliers and products; marketing and promotion of members' products; a common ground for the diverse sectors of the apparel industry; a crossroads of manufacturers and contractors; support and reinforcement of the US apparel industry; and employment and tax revenues through the growth of successful businesses. Read together, the list describes an incubator in the full sense - not desks and rent, but the knowledge and introductions a young apparel company cannot buy off the shelf.
