Topic: Start-up Assistance

Do you have lots of questions about how - or whether - to move forward? Are you considering moving your hobby into a more structured business form? Have you already started your small business and now realize you may have missed a few things? Your SV SBDC has answers, information, and resources to help. In our Start Smart Workshops, we discuss the path to good decisions and a successful start. You'll learn to take a thorough 360° approach to your business and all its components - from product development to target markets to financial projections. We'll also cover the regulations and registrations you need to know. Follow-up appointments are then available with SBDC business advisors to focus on your individual business needs.
