Business

The Smart Barn provides guidance and resources for your next steps in running your own business. Whether you're preparing to file taxes, hiring your first employee, applying for a loan, or thinking about selling your business, the Smart Barn can help you along the way.

Discover resources

We understand first-hand that running your own business can be complicated! We have lots of resources in-house and have also gathered our favorite referrals for those times when your questions will be better answered by other professionals. You’ll be taken care of, whether it’s by the Smart Barn or one of our community partners.

Get real with your accountant

Over the life of your business, outside advice will be needed from professionals like accountants, attorneys, estate planners, bankers, human resource specialists, and others. Here at the Smart Barn, we'll help you get the most out of your meetings with hired professionals.

How to get started

To get started, come on in for an intake appointment at our location, and together we'll set goals and prioritize projects. We'll choose an instructor for you, and decide whether we'll meet at our location, your location, or online. We'll set up our first few appointments and give an estimate of how long we'll work together.  Typically, business consulting appointments run two hours.
