What a great start to our Business Incubator Program with Passumpsic Bank!

We kicked off our four-week series this week with a wonderful group of local entrepreneurs and small business owners, diving into business planning and marketing.

We’re proud of each of our participants for investing their time in learning, asking questions, sharing ideas, and strengthening their businesses. Small businesses are such an important part of our North Country communities, and we’re excited to spend the next few weeks learning and growing together.

A big thank you to Passumpsic Bank for partnering with CEDC to make this program possible, and to everyone sharing their knowledge and experience throughout the series.

Next up: financial literacy, projections, working capital, and capital access. We’re looking forward to Session Two!
