Practical, small business seminars go hand-in-hand with the advising services offered by the SBDC. If you have questions about starting or operating a small business, our Basic Management Education hands-on workshops are an efficient means to learn what you need to know.
Start Strong Strategies
The Wisconsin Small Business Development Center (“SBDC”) at UWL is launching a FREE “Start Strong Strategies” series to help individuals effectively build a strong business. Participants will learn the basics of a financial business plan and business structure. Each workshop will provide basic information to become more strategic and more successful.
Many businesses start as a hobby or interest and now you are ready to take the next step and start your business. This class is for individuals who are looking for practical information for determining if they are ready to be an entrepreneur and the essentials for launching a business. You will learn about the initial steps to starting a business, formulate a business plan to move forward, and obtain some new resources. After class, attendees may request free, one-on-one assistance from the Small Business Development Center to refine their idea.
Join us for two virtual workshops. All workshops are FREE, but registration is required as space is limited. Participants are welcome to attend individual workshops or can register for the entire series.
