If so\, what are the first steps you should take? This workshop will help you assess your prospects\, give you the initial direction you need\, and inspire you to move forward to realize your dream. In addition\, you will have an opportunity to NETWORK with other business-minded people who are considering starting a business. \nTopics covered are: \n\nIt all starts with a PLAN – A BUSINESS PLAN\nMarketing for today’s small business.\nWhat is the right legal business structure for my business?\nWhat should I know about licenses\, taxes\, and insurance?\nWhat technology considerations are important for my business?\nAn introduction to the financial side of a business. Where do I get funding?\nOur 3-Point approach to Business Education – Basic Business\, Business Topic\, and Interactive Business Education\n\nTakeaways: \n\nWhat is needed to start a business\nWhat are the key parts of a business\nThe need for a plan – A BUSINESS PLAN\nWhat is the next Step-Attend our next Business Plan Workshop\n\nPresenter Bios: \nAlan Ludmer: is President of ARL\, INC. which provides marketing and management support services to selected entrepreneurial firms\, individuals\, and not for profit organizations. In addition\, he provides individual and organizational career coaching services. \nHe has over 50 years of professional experience in marketing\, management\, training and business ownership. He has served in senior management positions in several national corporations\, and has developed and implemented sophisticated management\, marketing\, and training programs for diverse corporate and individual clients nationwide. \nRobert Pennell: Building a business takes commitment and determination – not to mention patience. I’ve successfully developed a business plan\, secured institutional financing\, recruited necessary personnel\, and promoted the start-up of my legal practice so I know what needs to be done. For ongoing success you have to build a loyal client base. In my case that was through personal attention\, quality service and consistent follow through but every business model is different. The key is to identify your core market and determine the best way to drive business to that market which is much easier said than done. Through SCORE we can help you to answer these questions. I’d like to be able to help you move your business goals forward through SCORE. \nKeith Vollmar: For 20 years I have worked with businesses from $1.0 to $100.0 million in sales with the following activities and services: Part-Time CFO Roles Business Plan Development Cash Flow Forecasting Establish and Maintain Banking Relationships Educate Owners on financial statements Analyze Financial Statement results and information Establish Key Performance Indicators – Both financial and non-financial \nRegistration Information: \n\nUpon registering you will receive a confirmation email with the SCORE Zoom link to attend.\nYou do not need a Zoom account to participate.\nPlease connect 5 minutes in advance to be sure you have a good connection.
