A business advisor from the UW-Stevens Point Small Business Development Center (SBDC) will be available to meet on Thursday, Oct. 18, with those starting a business or those who currently operate a business.

SBDC advising services are free. Any topic from steps to starting a business to best practices of running a business can be discussed in a confidential, individualized session.

The SBDC helps hundreds of businesses each year to learn more about how to start and sustain a business. Appointments between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. will take place at the Oneida County UW-Extension office located in the lower level of the Rhinelander-Oneida County Airport.
