One Day. Your Agenda.
Small Business Clinics are designed as one-stop-shop events where you can “choose your own adventure” by attending as many—or as few—sessions as you’d like. Customize your day by registering for sessions that match your needs and interests, and feel free to drop in and out as your schedule allows.
Experts from the Dept. of Revenue, Dept. of Workforce Development, WI Dept. of Financial Institutions, and other state agencies may be represented. Depending on availability and interest, a bilingual consultant is often available to offer consulting in Spanish.
There is no cost to participate. Light refreshments and lunch are provided to attendees.

- A full day of networking opportunities to connect with fellow small businesses and critical resources in your community and around the state!

- General Small Business
