SIDNEY – A free business workshop is scheduled for Tuesday at the Sidney Western Nebraska Community College campus. 

“Why Every Business Needs A Plan” is a one-hour practical session covering key business plan components and how your plan supports conversations with bakers and insurance agents. 

The program will be held in the WNCC I & E Center. It is hosted by E3 (Energizing Entrepreneurial Ecosystems).
