VT Small Business Development Center

Ken Buzzell, Senior Vice President of the Newport office, recently participated in a lender forum at the Center for an Agricultural Economy in Hardwick. The class in business planning was offered by the Vermont Small Business Development Center (VtSBDC) and was held on October 14th. About ten people attended, in addition to staff from VtSBDC and lenders. Sarah Isham from VACC, Sam Buckley from the Vermont Community Loan Fund and Megan Dubois from FSA also participated, in addition to Ken. Each spoke about programs offered by their respective companies or agencies with emphasis on what they were, what type of loans they handled and eligibility. A question and answer session followed.
