LITTLE FALLS — The Entrepreneur Fund is opening a new office and its second Women's Business Alliance location in Little Falls. An open house is set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday with a brief program at 11:30 a.m.
The new office, 309 First St. NE, Suite 103, will allow the Entrepreneur Fund to provide additional services and resources to business owners in seven counties, including Benton and Stearns County.
"It's a new resource and we want to make sure people know that we are here," said Sandy Voigt, the newly named director of the Little Falls Women's Business Alliance. "I will be trying my best to get out into St. Cloud and rural Stearns and Benton County."

The Entrepreneur Fund's Women's Business Alliance initiative provides women business owners with services to start and grow businesses. With workshops, training opportunities, services and resources tailored to meet the needs of women business owners, this regional resource will offer business advising and networking opportunities that support strategies for professional and business growth.

The new location is funded in part by a recent grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Entrepreneur Fund, a business management and consulting organization based in Duluth, was one of just nine nonprofit organizations chosen to receive funding for new Women's Business Centers this year.
"I want to be the connector to make sure that if an entrepreneur needs to have advice on a particular area of expertise or financing, that I can get them connected with the right people," Voigt said.
The Entrepreneur Fund offers resources for entrepreneurs in northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. The Entrepreneur Fund has provided more than 14,000 businesses with expert support and funded over $45 million in loans since 1989.
