Appointments are 90 minutes and may be booked with one of the following UVM Extension specialists: Tony Kitsos (farm), Chris Lindgren (forest or maple), Betsy Miller (farm) or Zac Smith (farm or digital marketing).
Sessions may be used to discuss or revise business goals, develop a balance sheet or budget, update financial statements, review a business plan for an accurate financial analysis or ask for advice on other business-related matters.
