How to Start Your Own Small Business
Event Information
Description
What does it take to plan, start and run a successful small business?
Join us for a full and interactive morning session with experienced counselors and state and federal agency staff who work with businesses everyday in Maine: Steve Veazey, Maine District Director at SCORE, David Hill, Certified Small Business Development Center Counselor, Jaimie Logan, Governor's Account Executive with the Maine Dept of Economic and Community Development, Shane Beckim, Maine Technology Institute, and Bill Card, Economic Development Specialist for the U.S. Small Business Administration.
We'll walk you through the keys to successful business start up and management, covering business planning, financial and operations management, marketing, and more. This workshop is valuable whether you're starting out or changing your business, or if you're a non-profit (lots of basic business planning works for non-profits, too!). DECD and MTI offer different business and technology resources.
The workshop is free of charge, with generous financial support from TD Charitable Foundation, and hosted by the Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission. The LCRPC office, 297 Bath Road, is directly opposite Big Al's in Wiscasset. Plenty of parking in back and front. Breakfast will be available.
