Event Details

This workshop takes you through many steps of business ownership.  You will learn the types of business structures and advantages and disadvantages of each; what permits and licenses are required and how to obtain them; and reporting procedures for taxes.

Participants will learn why a business plan is important for success, what goes in to the plan, how to present it and how a business plan can help get a business off the ground and growing.

Finding a small business loan and successfully securing funds to start or expand a small business may seem a daunting task for the business owner.  Learn how this process may differ and be prepared for the loan process.  Listen as local lenders explain the best way to approach a lender, what is expected of the borrower and what homework needs to be done in advance of seeking financing.
