How to Start a Business – Start Smart Workshops.
Are you curious about how to start a business? Have you already started and realize you may have missed a few things? Are you considering moving your hobby into a more structured business form? Do you have lots of questions about how – or whether – to move forward?
We have information and resources to help.
In our Start Smart Workshops, we discuss the steps to a successful start, including registrations, regulations, and the components of sound business planning and financial projections. You’ll learn how to take a thorough 360° approach to viewing your business.
Follow-up appointments are then available with SBDC business advisors to focus on your individual business needs.
What People Have to Say About Our Start Smart Workshop
Corey MacDonald, founder of Red Root & Co., took the SV SBDC’s Start Smart Workshop when she was just beginning to sketch out her business concept. “The class was so awesome because it opened my eyes to all the different elements needed to start a business.” For someone that says she has been “…dreaming about food-entrepreneurship for the better part of 33 years,” getting a practical and broad perspective on business startup was a great way to put a foundation under her business idea. She also liked that the workshop encouraged interaction with other participants to share thoughts and ideas.
