SEMINAR AT UHSSL TO HELP ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS
START NEW BUSINESSES
As many would-be entrepreneurs have learned to their dismay, coming
up with an idea for a new business is a lot easier than getting
the venture off the ground and keeping it afloat.
Thanks to an upcoming all-day seminar at the University of Houston
System at Sugar Land (UHSSL), aspiring small-business owners soon
will be able to get expert advice on the nuts and bolts of starting
and funding a new business.
“Starting and Running Your Own Business” will run from
8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, April 7. Registration is $25. Topics
will include Personal Factors & Management; Business Opportunities;
Marketing; Organizations, Regulations & Insurance; Requirements
& Sources of Funds; Business Records; and Business Plans.
The seminar will be presented by members of the Service Corps of
Retired Executives (SCORE), a resource partner to the U.S. Small
Business Administration. SCORE advises new and current small-business
owners in the areas of finance, operations, human resources and
marketing. This seminar is part of an initiative to increase educational
opportunities in Fort Bend County for people interested in starting
a business or seeking ways to reinvigorate their business.
Seminar attendees will receive materials on the topics being presented.
