SBA Nebraska’s Legacy Business Recipient

Last September, Firespring was recognized as the Nebraska Legacy Business by the SBA (Small Business Administration), commemorating the SBA’s 70th anniversary. For 70 years, America’s entrepreneurs have relied on SBA support to help start and grow their small businesses.

Jay Wilkinson holding Firespring's Nebraska Legacy Business Award

“Firespring has a long history in the city of Lincoln. We have known them as AlphaGraphics, Cornerstone Print and Marketing and Digital IMS. In 2007, they officially became Firespring, one of the midwest’s largest marketing communications firms. They were even named one of the 50 Best Workplaces in Inc Magazine. Over the years, they turned to the Small Business Administration to help meet their growth needs. We even helped them during the pandemic, so they could maintain their workforce and continue to help clients. Because of their growth, leadership and contributions to the Lincoln and Omaha communities, we honor Jay Wilkinson and his team with a Legacy Recognition as part of our 70th anniversary celebration.”
