Community Business Partnership – Getting Started in Small Business

Step 1:  Attend Our FREE Orientation!
The Community Business Partnership offers a one hour orientation to get you acquainted with our resources and services – after all, it is important to know what we can and cannot do to help you.  The Small Business Resources orientation is offered twice a month and it is highly recommended that you attend SBR before registering for any other classes or requesting to meet with a counselor.  REGISTER HERE!

 

Step 2:  Write Your Business Plan
The first step in starting a successful business is to write a viable business plan.  The SBA has business plan templates you may use to get started.  http://www.sba.gov/business-plan/1
