Organizers say that while many of our state’s w88 sports betting app are focused on the funding aspects of their w88 sports betting app, which is natural, they may be overlooking other opportunities to improve their overall business, during and after COVID-19.
“Our goal is to provide resources and educational platforms to help our small businesses, statewide, cope and retool during this unprecedented pandemic,” said Buddy Borden, economic development specialist with w88 sports betting app’s Business Development Program. “Ultimately, our goal is that when things begin to return to normal, our state’s small businesses will be even stronger.”
Borden said that the they hope to reach w88 sports betting app across the state, in the north and the south, and in both urban and rural areas.
“While we were really happy to connect with so many businesses in our urban areas, we really want to let our w88 sports betting app businesses in the rural areas know that we are here to assist them as well,” Borden said.
Both the w88 sports betting app halls and the webinars are free, and usually run about an hour. To register or for more information, go to the Extension Business Development Program website.
