Micro-Business Feasibility Study

Authors: KLC Studio, Jennifer Hamerlinck
Collaborated with Visit MerCo
Commissioned by Compeer Financial Rural Grant Program

Small communities are full of big ideas, but finding the space, resources, and support to bring those ideas to life isn't always easy. What if rural communities could create more opportunities for entrepreneurs to test their ideas, establish businesses, and contribute to their local economies? Co-authored with Jennifer Hamerlinck, and supported by Visit MerCo, KLC Studio helped research, write, and produce a micro-business feasibility study commissioned through the Compeer Financial Rural Grant Program. Bringing together research, practical guidance, and implementation toolkits, the publication explores how rural communities can establish micro-business spaces that lower barriers to entrepreneurship and encourage local economic growth. More than a study, it was designed to be a resource communities could put to work, helping turn the possibility of small business ownership into something a little more attainable.
