You have an idea for a business. What’s the first step? Take the idea that has been forming in your head and see if you can turn it into an actual business. Join us on March 21st from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. when we will take an in-depth view of your business concept and discuss the steps to a successful start. Is there a need for your product or service? Can you make money at it? Are you the right person to bring this to market? Is this business compatible with your personal goals? What rules, laws and licensing apply to your business? We will discuss funding options for your business, basic marketing strategies, legal business structures, taxation, and the nuts-and-bolts of launching your new venture. We will also provide you with worksheets to take home and begin the process. After attending this workshop, you will have access to a Florida SBDC Business Consultant for assistance (at no cost) as you create your business plan and move toward your goals. No fee. One of our partners, Community Bank, has agreed to pay for the first 100 registrations for our “Starting a Business” workshops in 2022, but space is limited so advance registration is required. To register, visit our website at www.sbdc.uwf.edu and click on “Training & Events”. Location: UWF Emerald Coast Campus, 1170 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Bldg 8, Fort Walton Beach, 32547. Presented by Adam McCloskey, Associate Director, Florida SBDC at UWF.
