It's been a while, so allow us to reintroduce ourselves.

HUB 712 is more than a coworking space. We're a business resource center and connector serving entrepreneurs, small businesses, remote workers, and across West Central Iowa.

Whether you're exploring a new business idea, looking for funding resources, trying to make sense of your next steps, seeking connections to trusted experts, planning for growth, or thinking about a future business transition, we're here to help connect you with the right resources and support.

Some of the ways we help include:

✔ Connecting entrepreneurs with business counseling and technical assistance
✔ Identifying training, workshops, and educational opportunities
✔ Making referrals to trusted resource partners and subject matter experts
✔ Connecting entrepreneurs to networking and community opportunities
✔ Providing coworking and meeting space for professionals and businesses
and more!

If you're not sure where to start, that's okay. Start with a conversation.

Last week, Russell Dale from The Iowa Center visited HUB 712 to lead the Early-Stage Essentials class for local entrepreneurs and small business owners.

As we continue building this new partnership with The Iowa Center, we’re excited to introduce another resource and support connection.

In addition to the workshop, Russell also took time to connect with small businesses throughout the day. He will continue to be a familiar, friendly face as this partnership grows.

We appreciate these partnerships that enable us to better serve small businesses and entrepreneurs in our region.

Coming up next Thursday ‼️
You are invited to join us in person or virtually.
