MILLENNIALS + GEN-Z

From friendship bracelets to order fulfillment and beyond: One entrepreneur’s journey

Some people are born entrepreneurs. Beth Snyder is among them. Snyder is the owner of Court Street Custom Fulfillment (CSCF) in Fulton, MO, among other companies. CSCF is just the latest of her businesses. She started her first one in fourth grade and she made jewelry and decorative bottles that she sold in shops and craft stores while in high school. “By the time I went to college, I had saved $40,000,” Snyder said. About 15 years after college, her entrepreneurial drive reasserted itself, and she has since started several small businesses. The Missouri SBDC has been a part of this journey along the way. In 2021, the SBDC was able to help Snyder work on CSCF and the process of selling another one of her businesses.
