The Washington County Local Development
Corp., Warren County LDC and SUNY Adirondack
Continuing Education will conduct a Microenterprise
Assistance Small Business Program beginning
Feb. 23 at the SUNY Adirondack campus
in Washington Hall.
The course is held Monday nights from 6-8
p.m.
This 10-week course is open to any prospective
entrepreneur, as well as existing small businesses,
with 10 or fewer employees, in the region.
The program provides attendees with the
resources to build or re-structure an effective
business plan and covers other critical topics
such as advertising, budgeting and bookkeeping,
and legal issues, insurance requirements, taxes,
permits, and financing strategies.
This course is designed to provide candidates
with in-depth coverage of the business planning
and operational process. Each session offers
information relevant to building and utilizing
an effective business plan.
SCORE kicks the course off by providing an
overview of building a business plan and how
to use that plan to succeed, grow and thrive.
Every session brings an area professional to the
classroom to discuss best practices from his/her
respective field.
The fee is $150 for each participant. In addition
to learning valuable start-up and expansion
information, completing the course qualifies
candidates to apply for funding a startup or
expanding business in Washington or Warren
counties.
