Individuals in the beginning stages of starting a business, in need of accessing capital, or simply considering self-employment, will have the opportunity to attend a “Starting a Business” workshop in Petoskey.
The workshop is being offered by the Northwest Michigan Small Business Development Center in partnership with North Central Michigan College, and will be from 9-11:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 22, in room 536 of the North Central Michigan College Student and Community Resource Center, 1515 Howard St.
The workshop will be facilitated by Annie Olds and Kathleen Bagley, who are consultants with the organization. They will help aspiring entrepreneurs assess their abilities to lead and manage a company and evaluate market and sales potential for their products or services.
The workshop also incorporates the agency’s fundamental “Writing a Business Plan” workshop and covers topics such as determining concept feasibility, startup costs, financing options, the basics of business planning, along with other necessary resources to launch. This workshop is a requirement prior to meeting with a consultant one-on-one.
There is no charge to attend the workshop, but registration is required in advance by contacting the Northwest Michigan Small Business Development Center at sbdc@networksnorthwest.org or (231) 922-3780. Online registration is also available at sbdcnorthwest.org.
