The Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center at Arkansas State University will provide on-site counseling for small businesses in Northeast Arkansas in late October.
Interested entrepreneurs and existing small businesses will have the opportunity to meet with an ASBTDC business advisor.
ASBTDC provides one-on-one confidential guidance for business owners and entrepreneurs. The main areas of assistance include business planning, financial analysis, market research, loan packaging, growth and expansion, marketing and profitability.
The sessions were made possible through joint sponsorship from FNBC, First Community Bank, NEA Intermodal Authority, East Arkansas Planning and Development District, First Security Bank and Simmons Bank.
There is no charge for the training event or counseling session, but registration is required. One can call (870) 972-3517 to register.
Laura Miller, director of the center, will host a seminar Oct. 20 at the Batesville Chamber of Commerce. That same day, business consultant Robert Bahn will host a seminar titled “Marketing Your Small Business” at the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce in Walnut Ridge.
Miller will host an advisory Oct. 25 at the Spring River Innovation Hub in Cherokee Village and then another session Oct. 27 at the Randolph County Chamber of Commerce in Pocahontas.
