UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host Business Workshop in Laramie Oct. 22

For anyone contemplating starting a small business, the thought alone can be daunting. However, advice and assistance are available.

 

Jeff Engell will lead a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network business workshop titled “Start Your Own Business” Thursday, Oct. 22, from 5:30-7 p.m. in the community room of the Albany County Library, located at 310 S. 8th St. in Laramie. To register, go here. Registration is free.

 

The Wyoming SBDC Network offers business expertise to help Wyoming residents think about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business. The Wyoming SBDC Network is hosted by the University of Wyoming with state funds from the Wyoming Business Council and funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

 

The workshop is a good opportunity to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and gain essential knowledge for one’s business journey. The workshop will help potential new business owners learn key considerations for launching a small business; different pathways to business ownership; how to prepare for funding; and various sources of capital.

 

Engell is the Wyoming SBDC Network regional director for Albany and Carbon counties. Engell launched his entrepreneurial career overseas, spending more than a decade in consultancy that supported small and mid-sized businesses across diverse industries and countries. He is deeply passionate about the economic potential small business brings to rural areas and the meaningful, lasting impact they have on small communities.
