QuickStart Series 12.1

Session #1 - September 12, 2011 

Broward SCORE'S QuickStart start-up business workshops will prepare you to learn if your dream business idea is possible & viable!

Starting your own business is a tough decision!
Do I really have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?

• Will my idea be the right business for me?
• How much money do I need?
• Do I have to write a business plan?
• How do I make a decision to "go or no go?

It takes much more than a good idea and a desire to be your own boss to launch a successful venture. You'll need to answer those questions – and many others – before reaching your critical "go or no go" decision.

That's why SCORE developed QuickStart Workshops: As the next step after our Introduction to Business Workshop, register for this series of four weekly hands-on workshops designed to help you reach a "go or no go" start-up decision.

SCORE QuickStart Workshops are not academic style lectures. One-on-one counseling and homework are an integral part of the evaluation process. You'll follow a proven route to select and focus upon developing the foundations to your idea; a solid base that can be projected as you build your business.  

SCORE Counselors gained their know-how in the real business world. They work with you during each workshop to help you see the marketing, financial and operational choices and decisions you have to make. Then, with your "go" decision, you're ready to build a compelling business plan.

So, join us on September 12 at 5:00 pm for the first of four workshops designed to determine if your business idea is viable. Additional workshops in the series include:

2.   09/19/2011:    Building a Powerful Marketing Program
3.   09/26/2011:    Establishing your Financial Projections
4.   10/03/2011:    Finding your Funding Sources & Next Steps

As you complete the last workshop, you'll have all the elements in place to make the decision: "go or no go." You'll be ready to create a compelling business plan that gives life to your business building idea.
