Small businesses are the backbone of any economy whether national or local. They are responsible for, on average, two-thirds of the net jobs created in any given year while also serving as a significant force driving innovation in the American economy. When small businesses thrive, the economy thrives and people thrive.

This course is designed for those who want to start a small business. It covers the essentials from the original idea to assessing the competition, funding, marketing and pricing, and sales. The focus is on ways to avoid the pitfalls of startups and how to better take advantage of a now booming American economy from southwest Wyoming.
