Want To Start A Small Business?
What Will You Learn At The Workshop?
Starting and running a small business offers numerous benefits, including financial independence, personal satisfaction, and potential tax advantages. With the right knowledge, entrepreneurs can avoid common pitfalls, price their products or services effectively, and leverage social media to significantly boost sales. This workshop covers essential topics such as launching with minimal capital, choosing the right business structure (LLC or corporation), selecting a location, estimating startup costs, and exploring funding options when traditional banks decline. It also highlights the top business opportunities for 2026 and strategies to maximize profitability.
Despite the potential rewards, many small businesses struggle to survive beyond five years due to a lack of critical knowledge. Our free 12-page workbook and hands-on workshop have helped thousands improve their business performance or successfully launch new ventures. Participants are encouraged to bring a pencil and calculator to fully engage with practical exercises designed to enhance financial outcomes and long-term success.
