SpringBoard classes set in motion…
As SpringBoard classes approach the third week, local entrepreneurs work
through their business plans at the CreateHere studio. SpringBoard’s eight week course helps participants learn the business planning process while building business skills and reducing fears of self-employment. Topics covered in the course include developing a mission statement, estimating start-up and overhead costs, profit goal setting, cash flow, marketing, licensing, and record
keeping. Creative business ideas have been flowing in and out of the
classroom, and students are already forming networks and friendships. We
wish these entrepreneurs the best of luck in the weeks ahead as they put their time and energy into making their ideas a reality. If you have a great idea for a business and need help developing a plan, SpringBoard might be the program for you.
