Kansas SBDC reps to be in Fort Scott

Representatives from the Kansas Small Business Development Center (KSBDC) at Pittsburg State University will be in Fort Scott from 9 a.m.-noon Thursday, April 21 for free individual counseling sessions.

The sessions will be held in the Greyhound Room of the Administration Building at Fort Scott Community College, 2108 S. Horton.

Contact the KSBDC at PSU, (620) 235-4921, for future dates and times.

Local residents interested in developing new or existing businesses, and existing businesses interested in discussing their financing and other assistance needs, can meet with KSBDC counselors during this time. KSBDC assistance is confidential and provided without charge.

All business areas can be discussed at length.

Subsequent counseling will be scheduled on an as-needed basis, will involve follow-up visits by KSBDC/BTI personnel as necessary, and will be tailored to the needs of the business.

Appointments are required for the counseling sessions and can be made by calling the KSBDC at PSU, (620) 235-4921, or for more information regarding the counseling sessions or the services of the KSBDC and/or BTI, call Kathryn Richard, regional KSBDC director, at the same phone number.
