May is Small Business Month so let’s get ready a few weeks ahead of time! Plan to attend this important free SCORE seminar on Saturday, April 18 from 10:00am to 1:00 pm at the Longview Public Library.
This seminar will acquaint entrepreneurs and business owners with the use of some of the most powerful business research tools available today. What’s more, many of the tools are available from your own computer at home or work.
The session will cover the nine essential components of a Business Plan and then become a “hands on” session on how to use the resources of the Longview Public Library. You’ll be able to test, validate and adjust your business assumptions. If you wish, bring your own laptop to “dig into” data bases like Reference USA, Demographics Now or other proven small business reference sources.
We’ll also do a brief “walking tour” of the more than 2,000 free Business Reference tools available on the SCORE.org website.
Learn how you, working with Library staff, can research specific business information and articles on virtually any subject, industry or demographic. Meet both Library Research specialists and SCORE volunteer business mentors; understand how they can help you start your business or take your enterprise to the next level. Learn how local, experienced SCORE volunteers can help you with free business resources and one-on-one mentoring.
This seminar is being offered free to the community through the support and generosity of the Friends of the Longview Public Library. Seating is limited so push the "Register Now" button below.
