Success Stories
Annabeth, Julia & Romilda
Steve and Annabeth Baker wanted to start a monogram and embroidery business in Canyon. The SBDC assisted them in deciding which legal structure was best for their situation. The SBDC also utilized the research department of our Regional office to compile a list of suppliers. They opened for business in April and are doing so well that they may have to purchase additional machines to keep up with demand.
