Starting and Building a Business: Representatives from SCORE to hold workshop on April 7th.
Take this opportunity to pick the brains of some of the region’s savviest business minds
Ideas for creating or expanding a small business are everywhere. But how do you get to the next steps: weeding the good ideas from the bad ones, and then turning the best ideas into an exciting reality? Volunteers from the Counselors of America's Small Business (SCORE) will be at the East Brunswick Public Library on Tuesday, April 7, 7:00 p.m. to answer some of these questions. This workshop is free and everyone is welcome to attend.
SCORE volunteers will explain what you need to know when going into business. They also offer in-depth counseling, training, and workshops on identifying opportunities, finding solutions to problems, creating a business plan, and how to secure funding. SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business" is a nonprofit association dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
