MEET WITH A CONSULTANT

After attending the Start-Up Basics class, you’ll be ready to sit down for an initial consultation with an SBDC consultant at no cost. At your first appointment, the consultant will talk to you about your business idea and determine the best course of action. Bring a list of questions or topics you'd like to discuss. Our consultants can help you:

• Conduct a market analysis and test the feasibility of your concept
• Develop a business plan
• Determine legal structure, choose a business name, register your business and obtain licensing
• Develop a financial plan, including profit and loss projections, cash flow analysis and capital requirements
• Determine potential funding sources
• Set up an accounting system
