Many people consider business ownership as an alternative to employment. Do you have a great idea to fill a need? Are you a subject matter expert in your field? Have you been working in your industry and are now interested in branching out on your own? Do you
need to know more about the ins and outs of operating a business?
“You don’t know what you don’t know, until you know what you didn’t know.” Dr. Maxwell Chikuta
When starting a small business there are a lot of unknowns. Join us for this very informative workshop to start finding out. This two (2) hour workshop will provide an overview of SBA programs and services, and cover the basics of starting a business.
