On Wednesday, September 25, the Small Business Development Center will be at the Chamber of Commerce to provide free, one-hour business consultations. Mary Shepherd, director of the Southwest SBDC will be on hand to help you with issues in starting a business, financials, internal concerns such as inventory, production or even exit strategies.
The SBDC has a cadre of professionals to help you with a variety of business issues. Looking to write a business plan? Mary can help you get started. Looking to expand, Mary can assist you with what you need in terms of financials, growth plans and yes – that business plan.
Perhaps you’re looking to retire. Mary can get you started and set up with a consultant on creating an exit strategy.
There are many more business-related topics that you can discuss during your free, confidential, one-hour session. To reserve a time slot, visit www.sbdcfortlewis.org/consulting. Scroll down to “request an initial appointment” and follow the prompts from there.
The Pagosa Springs Chamber is happy to partner with our Southwest Small Business Development Center. We strive to not only open or expand businesses, but open or expand successful businesses.
Should you have any questions or need help registering, please contact Membership Coordinator, Anna Deering in our Chamber office at (970) 264-2360.
