How To Start Your Own Small Business

Thinking about starting a small business?    Have you already started and realize you may have missed a few things?   This workshop is for you!   We review the steps to a successful start, the registrations and regulations, and the components of sound business planning, including financial projections.

Follow-up appointments are then available with SBDC, SCORE, and/or CIC business advisors to focus on your concept development, business profile, and/or business plans, including financial projections.

Brought to you jointly by:
Central Virginia SBDC ,  Central Virginia SCORE   & the Community Investment Collaborative 

Today’s Host: SCORE       SCORE offers free, confidential business education and mentoring. Most SCORE mentors are experienced business owners and managers. They understand business challenges because they’ve faced them too. Your SCORE mentor can be both your coach and cheerleader to help you start or grow your business.

DIRECTIONS: The CIC office, where this event will take place, is located at 300 Preston Ave, Suite 206 in Charlottesville. The building is the Citizens Commonwealth Center at the corner of Preston and Ridge. It’s a large 5 story building that used to have a bank on the bottom floor (UVA Credit Union & Stellar One). You can still see the bank drive through on the back side of the building. Our parking lot is between our building and the Omni and across the street from the McDonalds. Call 434-218-3481 if you have problems. Our office is on the 2nd floor, make a right off the elevator and walk to the end of the hall.
