Small businesses need tools to keep companies humming

Much of the economic energy of Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties emanates from the hundreds of small businesses in the region.

It is their hard work, creativity and sheer stamina that keep the area humming. But glamorous as being a business owner sounds, the reality is that it is demanding work. This year in our Small Business Guide, we offer news you can use, from protecting your trademarks, to selling more effectively, from avoiding scam artists to crafting your own low-cost continuing-education plan.

Each of these topics is crucial to creating and sustaining a small business. We hope you find it helpful.
