WABASH COUNTY, IN (April 10, 2020) – Grow Wabash County is pleased to continue to partner
with the Indiana Small Business Development Center (ISBDC) to offer free, virtual confidential
business consulting.
In the midst of the current COVID-19 outbreak, many small businesses are in need of help to
survive these low-revenue periods and to make a plan to help them bounce back once the
restrictions are lifted.
Through the ISBDC, business owners can receive confidential one-on-one business counseling;
business-related workshops and courses; and assistance with business planning, marketing,
loan packaging, business and financial analysis, market research and strategic focus, much of
which can be tailored to their business’ specific needs and challenges.
The ISBDC can be that sounding board for business owners as they weigh the various loans,
grants and other options afforded to them, or a source of knowledge about best marketing or
sales practices. Find out more information about Northeast Indiana Small Business
Development Center services offered here: https://isbdc.org/services/
Business advisors, Wes Shie and Billie Wunderlich, are here to be that resource for Wabash
County businesses. While social distancing guidelines are still in effect, Shie and Wunderlich are
offering virtual consulting sessions that can be done over the phone, via email or through video
chats. These appointments are free and confidential.
Appointments with Shie and/or Wunderlich can be scheduled through their emails. Wes Shie
can be reached at wshie@isbdc.org and Billie Wunderlich can be reached at
