So You Want
to Start a Business Workshop
Tuesday,
June 21, 6-8 p.m.
Free program.
Registration required.
This free
workshop is designed as the first step in the SCORE counseling process for
clients who are planning to start a new business for the first time, but have
not yet taken concrete steps to proceed.
Topics covered include discussion of the client’s motivation for
starting a business, self-assessment of entrepreneurial qualities and a review
of resources required. Other business considerations, such as starting a new
business or buying an existing business, home-based versus outside location and
sole ownership versus partnership are discussed. After completing the workshop and when ready
to proceed, clients will be assigned to a SCORE counselor to begin the
one-on-one counseling process.
