Unlock Your Business Potential with the  UEC Business Resource Center

Welcome to the UEC Business Resource Center!

 

Umatilla Electric Cooperative created us, the UEC Business Resource Center, in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our initial purpose was to assist UEC businesses members affected by COVID-19 in applying for and receiving federal and state relief funds. We expanded our services to provide business owners with marketing support, business plan development, website design, budgeting review, and so much more.
