SBDC Webinar Focuses on Exporting Opportunities

Selling globally is important and can help a company grow its business.

To help companies understand more about the important factors to consider when assessing their export readiness, John Privette, regional director for the Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and an international trade specialist, will present the webinar, titled “Exporting -- A World of Opportunity,” Thursday, Jan. 26, from 2-3 p.m.

The SBDC is a partnership among the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Business Council and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBDC focuses on educating small-business owners and potential owners on how to successfully start and operate small businesses. The SBDC’s main office is located at UW.

During the webinar, Privette will debunk the common myths about exporting and explain how trade can transform a business model.
