Start a Business

A pre-business workshop will help you to explore the possibilities and help you to decide whether to embark on this new venture. These workshops provide the foundation for developing a sound business plan to start your business and guide its growth. Our business advisors can help you refine your plan and access the information you need.

We can also assist you with identifying sources of financing and develop a financing proposal, as well as provide seminars to help you stay current and strengthen your skills.
