Starting a Home-based Business

brought to you by the Eastern District

and the Stourbridge Project

May 19, 2020 from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.

Are you ready to jumpstart your entrepreneurial dream? Most entrepreneurs start with a home-based business that creates, delivers, or improves on a product or service. In this one-hour introductory and interactive course, join the U.S. Small Business Administration to discuss:

• Generating the idea
• Applying the rules
• Creating the plan
• Evaluating the financing
• Accessing mentoring and training resources

The U.S. Small Business Administration makes the American dream of business ownership a reality. As the only go-to resource and voice for small businesses backed by the strength of the federal government, the SBA empowers entrepreneurs and small business owners with the resources and support they need to start, grow or expand their businesses, or recover from a declared disaster.  Services to Wayne and Pike Counties are delivered through the Eastern Pennsylvania SBA District Office in King of Prussia and through partnerships with public and private organizations.

Your facilitator is Sonia Smith, Public Information Officer with the SBA’s Eastern Pennsylvania District Office. Sonia was a successful entrepreneur who started a home-based tech business and grew it to 15 full-time employees before selling it and joining the public sector.
