Workshop: Simple Steps for Starting Your Business - Part 2 Business Concept

Simple Steps for Starting Your Business is a five-part series of pre-business workshops to help you reach a “go or no-go” decision for a start-up. The program is not designed to provide all of the information needed to start a business, but rather to help you decide whether you are ready to take the next step towards becoming an entrepreneur.

Do you dream of owning your own business but don’t know where to get started? Learn what it really takes to start your own business. Part 2 offers step-by-step guidance in researching your idea, your market and your competition.
