BUFFALO, N.Y. – A new company is hoping to help Buffalo-based entrepreneurs get their businesses up and running.

nxtARROW is a new not-for-profit whose goal is to help local entrepreneurs and attract startup companies to the area.

The company will assist small local businesses with funding to start their operations, and use social media like Twitter and LinkedIn to connect with industries looking to expand.

nxtARROW President John Howell said he hopes the company will help Buffalo grow as a community.

"Every one person company we bring to Buffalo brings business to Buffalo's existing businesses, community, generates revenue to be spent in Buffalo and eventually as they grow, will be creating jobs for Buffalo residents," Howell said.

nxtARROW is offering one year free rent and business service to companies willing to relocate.

Their corporate offices are located on the first floor of the Iskalo Electric Tower in Buffalo.
