Eastern Montana’s Small Business Development Centers Support Rural Communities

Where do you go to get your truck fixed, to have your implements altered, or to get your hair cut? Chances are, it’s a local place. Many of our towns’ jobs and services are provided by small businesses; they make our communities strong and vibrant.

But starting, owning, and running a small business isn’t easy. Most of the time, that business owner has to be a Jack or a Jane of all trades — a marketer, a salesperson, an accountant.

And yet, we Montanans keep at it. Maybe it’s that independent spirit and our knack for gettin’ stuff done. But if and when we need it, we also have ten Small Business Development Centers http://sbdc.mt.gov/ across the state whose sole purpose is to help local businesses succeed.
