BELLINGHAM - Western Washington University's College of Business and Economics' Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has announced major changes to its Web site, http://www.cbe.wwu.edu/sbdc.
Information can now be found on the site about successful marketing ideas, the creation of business plans, financial management best-practices, start-up resources, and financing programs for area businesses.
"We have found the Web site serves as a vast resource for businesses 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So we have added more information and made it easier to locate information about us and business in general. The site gets about 60 unique visits a day for over two minutes per visit, with traffic from all over the region," said Tom Dorr, director of the SBDC. "Our Web site is just another vehicle to support the economic development of our region."
For more than 20 years, the Small Business Development Center has enabled Western Washington University's College of Business and Economics to give back to the business community, and has helped to shape the economic future of Whatcom County one business at a time. The SBDC provides free, confidential counseling, technical assistance and secondary research to business owners and managers in an effort to help businesses thrive throughout Whatcom County.
The SBDC is funded through the Port of Bellingham; the U.S. Small Business Administration; Western Washington University's College of Business and Economics; Washington Department of Community Trade and Economic Development, the cities of Bellingham, Ferndale, Blaine, Lynden, and Sumas; Whatcom County; the Economic Development Administration, and private donations.
