Cody Small Business Summit 2026

Description

— Growing Our Community Through Education & Strategic Planning —

Learn how to grow your business, build wealth through commercial real estate, and prepare for a successful future transition—all while gaining a better understanding of the financing tools available to support your goals.

For generations, small businesses have been the backbone of Cody's economy and community.

As someone born and raised in Cody—and the daughter of two small business owners—I understand both the opportunities and challenges that come with running a business in a rural community. Throughout my career, I've worked with business owners across the country to finance growth, purchase commercial real estate, acquire businesses, and prepare for ownership transitions. My goal is to bring that knowledge back to the community that helped shape me.

Many business owners are unaware of the financing tools, strategies, and resources available through the Small Business Administration (SBA) and other trusted advisors.

This summit was created to provide practical, real-world education on:

1. Growing and scaling a business
2. Building long-term wealth through commercial real estate ownership
3. Preparing for an eventual business exit
4. Understanding acquisition opportunities through Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA)
5. Leveraging SBA programs to achieve business goals                                                                                                                            

Whether you're planning for growth, considering retirement in the next decade, or simply looking to better understand your options, this seminar will provide actionable insights you can take back to your business immediately.
