Starting a Business

Have an idea for a business, but not sure where to start?  Take the first step with the Florida SBDC’s “Starting a Business” workshop on Thursday, March 5, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.  In this workshop, we will talk about business concepts and find answers to many of your questions: Is there a need for your product or service? Can you make money with your business idea? Is this business compatible with your goals? What rules, laws and licenses apply to your business?  Attendees will learn legal business structures, best management practices, funding options, basic marketing strategies. We’ll also talk about how to write a business plan and the importance of financial statements.  After attending, you will be assigned a Florida SBDC Business Consultant to get assistance (at no cost to you) in moving through the stages of your business venture.  Pre-registration is required.  Fee: $50.  To register, visit our website at www.sbdc.uwf.edu and click on “Training & Events”.  Students/employees of UWF, call us to register for no fee at 850-474-2528.   Presented by Synovus
