“Starting a Business? – How to Test the Feasibility”

A No-Charge SCORE event in Partnership with the City of Baldwin Park

Want to start a business?  Have a new business in need of help?  Let us help!

So maybe you’ve often thought you should start your own business.  Well you can and we will help you evaluate your business idea or test if your hobby could be a business.  Or maybe you have started at some level but don’t know what to do next. Then this no charge workshop is for you!         

We’ll discuss:  

   * How to identify the market for your product or service

   * Creating an effective message to generate sales   

   * Sales processes proven to work

   * How to secure needed funding

   * Common mistakes made in choosing a business location     

   * Options for structuring your business, plus licensing, insurance and taxes   

Many small businesses fail in just a few short years.  Don’t let that happen to you.  The time and effort you invest working on your business before you get started working in your business will pay off.  And your willingness to seek help when you face challenges and opportunities will too!             

The city of Baldwin Park is proud to be partnering with SCORE to produce this workshop.  Don’t miss it, snacks and refreshments will be served and admission is FREE !

Dennis Wright of SCORE presents this workshop.  Dennis retired after nearly 30 years in sales and sales management, and another 12 years in procurement and facility leasing.  So he’s been on both sides of the table; negotiating as the seller and as the buyer… He is currently active in the Orange County and San Gabriel Valley SCORE Chapters where he shares his experience and know-how with start-ups and established businesses.
