How To Start Your Own 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 for 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  
&            Community Investment Collaborative 

This workshop is hosted by the Community Investment Collaborative and will be held at their offices at the Citizens Commonwealth Center, 300 Preston Ave, Suite 206 in Charlottesville.  Take the elevator to the second floor, make a right off the elevator and walk to the end of the hall.

The Citizens Commonwealth Center is 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.  The parking lot is between the building and the Omni Hotel and across the street from the McDonalds.  Park in the visitor spaces, if available.   Call 434-218-3481 if you have problems.

There is a $5 admin/processing fee to attend this workshop.  If you cancel less than 48 hours before the workshop, the fee is non-refundable.  If you cancel prior to the 48 hour deadline, you can use this fee as a credit toward attending another workshop.
