Variety of Business Programs Available In Main Street Bounceback Catalog

In a continued effort since 2020, the Main Street Bounceback Program is a grant initiative designed to help Wisconsin’s small businesses recover and thrive in the midst of economic challenges. This program is targeted towards local entrepreneurs, fostering vibrant communities across the state.

Through a partnership with the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the program now offers a series of classes and workshops at no cost to eligible businesses. These educational opportunities provide valuable skills, insights, and tools that help businesses build stronger foundations, make informed decisions and navigate their growth journey.

"This Course Catalog is a great resource for small business owners and their teams," said Andi Gretzinger, Business Consultant, UW-Stevens Point SBDC. "I often send clients there to explore topics that interest them, build new skills, and grow their business by investing time instead of money. It’s accessible professional development that helps owners work on their business, not just in it!"

This program is open to anyone that is an owner, employee or staff member of a for-profit small business that meets each of the following criteria:

• Based in Wisconsin
• Currently operating and open for business (does not include pre-venture)
• Fewer than 500 employees
