Welcoming Connections Fuel Coffee Shop Success
For Hailey Rogers, a successful coffee shop encourages interpersonal connections and serves excellent small-batch roasts. Hailey took over Shenandoah Joe, which she managed, in November 2021 when she was offered the opportunity to buy the café. She needed to secure funding to buy the business. Allison Dugan, a business advisor at the Shenandoah Valley SBDC, helped Hailey with a business plan and a loan application through Harrisonburg Economic Development. Hailey says, “Allison provided me with every necessary document I needed to complete my loan application." She highly recommends the one-on-one advising, “Having an advisor right there with me to give input while I worked through what my business needed was crucial to my success.”

Young entrepreneur makes big impact
Josh Burdick, the owner of Veritas Media, credits his business' successes to the services provided by the SBDC as he said, “I don't know if I would be in business if it weren't for the SBDC.” In 2015, Burdick had a career in media but saw an opportunity to start a production company. He took this idea to the SBDC & sought the advice of an advisor, Eric Grimstead. As Grimstead sat down with Burdick, the primary question was whether there was a market for a video production studio in Bellingham. By doing research & asking the right questions, Burdick and Grimstead were reassured that a production company was much needed in the Bellingham area. “If you see an opportunity for a business, take your idea to the SBDC and receive guidance,” said Burdick.
