Our mountain communities depend on small businesses. The vibrancy of each town is shaped by the visions of entrepreneurs who entertain visitors and residents alike, while generating tax dollars for critical services. We also rely on small businesses to provide essential services to our rural communities. Services like daycares, medical practices, auto repair shops, building service providers, transportation services and many more. Entrepreneurs in our communities continue to innovate through tech and manufacturing to support our environment and to provide professional job opportunities in our communities. Sponsors of the Northwest SBDC provide direct support to the local entrepreneurial and small business community.
