Client Success Story - LiveIt Up!

Jourdann Latney embarked on her entrepreneurial journey last year when she opened to LiveIt Up! in January 2023. Her passion for crafting delicious, all-natural, cold-pressed healthy fruit juices stems from her desire to promote wellness and vitality within her community. 

Seeking out expert advice,  Latney reached out to the SBDC to navigate starting and growing a small business. That’s when she connected with her SBDC advisor, Samira Savoury – through advising Samira helped to shape LiveIt Up!’s trajectory. While celebrating LiveItUp’s participation in several notable community events last year, Lautney continued her entrepreneurship journey as a participant in the Launcher Program, a 12-week intensive to help drive small business management skills in Delaware. Through Launcher, Wilmington Kitchen Collective, and PLANIT’s Entrepreneurship Training Program, Lautner has continued to polish her business acumen and learn from her support network.

"[The SBDC] gave me guidance for my next steps and provided ways to analyze my business progression in every aspect."

Latney highlights the invaluable guidance from Samira Savoury, from charting the course for future growth to providing tools for comprehensive business analysis, the SBDC has been a pillar of support in navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship with confidence.

As LiveIt Up! continues to gain momentum and expand its footprint, Latney remains committed to delivering exceptional products. With the unwavering dedication of Latney and her team, the future looks bright for LiveIt Up! and the communities it serves.
