Launching Your Own Business

Event description

Every successful business is built on a solid foundation. This class will help you decide if you're ready to start a business, then evaluate your business idea and ensure you're taking the steps to increase the chances of a successful launch.

Southwest Indiana Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Business Advisors will help you understand:

• Your personal readiness to start a business,
• How to perform market research and interpret the information,
• Whether your business idea is viable AND feasible (including the identification of startup costs),
• How to write a business plan and develop a financial projection,
• Financing options available, and
• Specific steps to take as you launch a business.

Upon registration, you will receive a link to participant materials for this class, including a 34-page Guide to Starting a Business workbook. You will receive printed copies of these materials at the beginning of the class.

After completing the workshop, participants are invited to sign up for 1:1, no-cost counseling with a Southwest Indiana SBDC Business Advisor.

This event is being held in-person at the Phoenix Event Center at the new Ohio Township office, 3433 Libbert Road, Newburgh, IN.
