The consultation we received from SBDC when opening our business was imperative. Since then, I've attended a few of their workshops and conferences. Every event has been professionally done and well worth the time and money. Thanks to all the staff who make it such valuable resource!

Mountain Studies staff and board members took the Business Model Canvas class from Jasper, and we really loved it! Jasper has an amazing way of bringing out the best ideas from the participants, making the content relevant to each person in the room. We will definitely continue to seek SBDC's expertise and classes as our planning continues!

The SBDC is an incredible resource that I would encourage anyone who is starting a business or has already established one to check out. Their Starting your Business workshop is fantastic and has opened my eyes to the resources, many at a low cost, that are offered to small businesses.

The webinar was very thorough & informative. As someone new to the idea of purchasing a business, it provided me with many details about the multiple steps & aspects that need to be considered. I'm thankful to have resources such as this as a guide along this path!
