Business Tip: Evaluate Resource Allocation

Take stock of your resources, including budget, time, and team capacity. Identify areas where resources can be optimized or redirected to support high-priority initiatives. This proactive approach will prepare you for a productive second quarter.

When Shannon Grover was starting her business, The Lakewood Bookstore, she reached out to SBDC business advisor Ann Zimmerman for help with resource allocation and so much more. “She kept me sane,” Shannon said about her work with Ann. “I cannot begin to properly articulate how much she did to help me get started.”

The Washington SBDC is a program of Washington State University and provides no-cost, confidential business advising to any small business owner in the state who wants to start, grow or buy/sell a business. Contact the Washington SBDC today to speak with an expert advisor whose only agenda is to help you succeed.
