SBDC Day 2018

Happy SBDC Day! We are celebrating businesses assisted by the SBDC this year. Check out some of our client success stories.
Eric and Leann of Hartline's West Mex have been making salsa for their friends and events for many years. They were constantly told that they should sell their amazing product. In 2014 they decided to give it a go and started selling it at one of the stores in town. Before they knew it they were in several stores throughout Shasta, Siskiyou and Butte counties. Then, in January 2018, they got the call confirming their contract to supply shipments to 25 West coast sites of a well-known grocery store. Because of the increase in production they were also able to hire their first employee. Way to go Hartline's West Mex!
We at the Shasta-Cascade SBDC couldn't be happier with the progress they made.  If you are interested in getting assistance with your business, give us a call at  (530) 222-8323 or visit our website at www.sbdcsc.org

We are thrilled of all the successful entrepreneurs in the Shasta-Cascade area as well as those a little farther from home.
