Small Business Owner Offers Tips for Expanding

There are hundreds of Fayetteville small businesses in our Fort Bragg Patch area. Some of them may be places you and your family frequent, businesses that have been in Fayetteville for as long as you can remember. And many of these are local veteran owned contractors

Small business owner President/CEO of K3 Enterprises, Inc., Brian Kent is no stranger to starting a business from the ground up. In a recent interview with him at a recent Chamber of Commerce event. 

Kent stressed the ideas of small businesses in Fayetteville hiring our retired veterans and wounded warriors, providing them training to succed. Kent himself is a wounded warrior.

He said it's also important to use your resources and spread the word about your business by connecting in the local community - like using the Chamber of Commerce and other marketing networks.

Another way to support locally owned small businesses is to participate in Amex’s Small Business Saturday on Nov. 24. Last year, more than 100 million people participated in this day dedicated to supporting small businesses.

There are more articles and interviews about small businesses on the Patch Partners website, where you can also sign up for the Patch Partners newsletter and Patch Partners Twitter feed to stay better informed, grow your small business and strengthen your community.
