Simple Steps for Starting Your Business
Is Starting a Business Right for You?
Veterans are ideal candidates to start a business. They have extensive training, discipline and organizational skills, and understand the virtues of hard work and persistence.
However, the battlefield is a far different landscape than the business world, and the SCORE Veteran Fast Launch program is designed to help our vets transition their skills to main street entrepreneurship. SCORE’s mentors and programs offer a vast amount of “boots on the ground” experience to help these men and women continue on their path to success.
We don't need to tell you, making your dream come true takes a lot of planning and personal effort. Get the basics to making that dream a reality by attending this FREE five week series "Simple Steps to Start Your Business."
In this powerful series, you'll learn how to:
- Define and evaluate your business idea
- Develop a marketing strategy
- Understand business financials
- Identify the best ways to fund your start-up
You'll also have a great opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs, share experiences and expand your network.
Each participant gains access to all the SCORE materials used in this series along with the full complement of SCORE business development tools and templates to make starting your business as efficient as possible. You'll also 
have experienced SCORE mentors on hand who are prepared to help you realize your dream of entrepreneurship!
