Workshops Expand on Fayetteville Business Starter Kit Resources<\/em><\/p>\n FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. \u2014 Startup Junkie and the City of Fayetteville have announced another round of resourceful webinars as part of the Fayetteville Business Starter Kit series. The series expands with four new sessions this August and September, each focused on the practical support and practices that help local businesses grow and succeed after launching in Fayetteville.<\/p>\n The first round of webinars, held in June, walked entrepreneurs through the fundamentals of opening a business in Fayetteville \u2014 first steps and business formation, food and beverage licensing, and retail. Those sessions produced three step-by-step guides now published on the City\u2019s website, along with full recordings that remain freely available to anyone who missed them.<\/p>\n This next round of workshops expands on the advice and resources available to entrepreneurs in our community. Moving beyond the point of opening one\u2019s doors, these sessions focus on what comes next: finding the people and organizations that can help, winning government contracts, financing growth, and how to give back to your community of support.<\/p>\n “We\u2019re excited to expand on this series and to continue working alongside our friends at the city, which has been a rewarding opportunity to better serve and support the entrepreneurs and small business owners that help make our community what it is,\u201d said Caleb Talley of Startup Junkie.<\/p>\n Each session begins at 12:00 p.m., will run approximately 45 minutes, and is available to the public via live streaming. Sessions are recorded and made available afterward as a permanent resource. Instructions for tuning into the stream are distributed to those who register in advance.<\/p>\n The upcoming webinars include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Starting a Business in Fayetteville: How to Connect with Fayetteville\u2019s Business and Startup Community<\/strong><\/p>\n August 20, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n This session will help entrepreneurs and business owners connect with Fayetteville\u2019s business and startup community, including the organizations that host networking and engagement opportunities and how to access these events and resources.<\/p>\n Register on Eventbrite<\/a><\/p>\n Starting a Business in Fayetteville: How to Do Business with the Government<\/strong><\/p>\n September 8, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n This session will focus on government procurement and best practices for doing business with local, state, and federal government agencies.<\/p>\n Register on Eventbrite<\/a><\/p>\n Starting a Business in Fayetteville: How to Access Capital and Financing<\/strong><\/p>\n September 10, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n This session will focus on helping small businesses access capital and financing, including debt financing, equity investment, and non-dilutive funding, along with local resources such as the Kiva NWA program offered through Startup Junkie.<\/p>\n Register on Eventbrite<\/a><\/p>\n Starting a Business in Fayetteville: How Businesses Can Give Back and Engage with the Community<\/strong><\/p>\n September 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n This session will focus on the ways businesses can give back to the communities they call home, including volunteering time, space, and financial resources; partnering with local nonprofit organizations; and serving on community boards, committees, and commissions.<\/p>\n Register on Eventbrite<\/a><\/p>\n Entrepreneurs can access the new guides, watch previous webinars, register for upcoming sessions, and connect with additional business resources online.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.fayetteville-ar.gov\/4527\/Fayetteville-Business-Starter-Kit<\/a><\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n
