Two workshops entitled “Starting a Business” will be held during May from 6-8:30 p.m. They will take place on Thursday evenings May 7 and May 28 in the conference room of the Small Business Assistance Center, 111 East Liberty St., Savannah. 

The University of Georgia Small Business Development Center and the Service Corps of Retired Executives sponsor these events.  If you are thinking of starting a small business, then taking one of these workshops is a crucial first step.

Each workshop will cover the basics of what you need to know and do before starting a business.  It will also cover the traits of successful entrepreneurs, market research, legal structures for business, estimating start-up costs and cash flow projections, financing alternatives, failure factors and business planning. 

A detailed workbook and other resource materials will be provided.  The cost of this seminar is $69 per person. An early bird registration of $50 is available if you register and pay a week before the day of class. Call for details and discount code for the early bird registration.
