Office of Business & Entrepreneurship: Free Small Business Clinic

The Office of Business & Entrepreneurship (OBE), the Wisconsin Small Business
Development Center, Western Technical College, and the Viroqua Chamber will host a Small Business
Clinic – free to all participants – on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at Western Technical College.

This FREE event will take place from 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM and is a ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ for
entrepreneurs. Come for the day or for a specific session. Participants can schedule 30-minute individual
sessions with consultants to discuss starting a business, financials, marketing, home baking businesses,
international trade, or legal matters, and/or participate in lecture-style sessions in a group setting.
Peruse resources from local entities and entrepreneurial support at resource tables in the lobby.

“Your entrepreneurial journey doesn’t have to be a solo adventure,” said Dan Brosman, Office of
Business & Entrepreneurship Strategic Projects Associate Director and event organizer “Our clinic
provides the roadmap, resources, and community support you need to succeed.”

“Entrepreneurship empowers individuals to transform their passion into opportunities, driving local
innovation and strengthening the economic vitality of our communities,” said event site sponsor Deb
Hether, director, Enrollment Services at Western Technical College.

“We’re proud to support the Office of Business & Entrepreneurship in bringing the Small Business Clinic
to Viroqua,” reported Allyson Servais, executive director, Viroqua Chamber. “Providing local
entrepreneurs with accessible tools, expert guidance, and ral-time resources is essential to building a
strong and resilient local economy. This clinic is about meeting where where they are on their small
business journey – whether they’re just starting out, growing, or reimagining their business – and
ensuring they feel seen, supported, and empowered to take their next step.
