Brie Hasty is the majority owner of the women owned business, Hasty Distributing, which is a spirits wholesaler.
While based in San Angelo, most of her customers are retailers in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. She came to the ASU SBDC for assistance with a business plan. She teamed up with advisor James Leavelle, and with his assistance, wrote her business plan with financial projections. He provided her with feedback and recommendations, as well as market and industry research. James knew Brie was positioned well to apply for various funding and grant Opportunities. He shared a grant opportunity from the Texas Women’s University for omen Entrepreneurs, which turned out to be a great fit for Hasty Distributing, resulting in a successful capital infusion of grant funds.
“The SBDC has been a valuable resource in completing my business plan. During this process I was sent information on a grant through Texas Women’s University for Women Entrepreneurs and received $5000. I am grateful for having SBDC as a resource to guide me as I grow my business.”
