Starting Your Own Business Workshop
“I thought it was a great introduction. Covered all the initial bases and gave a great foundation to build on.”
Two ways to learn more about Starting Your Own Business:
OPTION ONE: Our virtual on-demand (pre-recorded webinar) is a free 15-minute introduction to starting a business in Vermont without any interaction or questions answered. It is presented by the Vermont Small Business Law Center. This covers the “nuts and bolts” of starting a business in 9 steps.
- Register your business and hear some basics on legal, accounting and insurance (the nuts and bolts again).
- How to evaluate if there is a viable business opportunity in your idea?
- What makes your business unique? Creating your value proposition and using the Business Model Canvas.
- Basics of financials and how to calculate what you’ll need to get started.
- Gain tips from business advisors, learn about other local resources and next steps.
Here’s what some of our recent virtual attendees have said about the workshops:
“The webinar was wonderful! Many of my questions were answered during the presentation and I learned about new resources and aspects of business I am eager to explore. The use of technology was seamless! The three presenters transitioned roles leading the webinar easily…I highly recommend this webinar. VtSBDC clearly put tons of effort into making this pivot to continue delivering high quality content. Because you made a pivot, entrepreneurs are empowered to make pivots in their businesses too. Thank you so much!”
“Great use of Zoom and chat…it felt really amazing to see three women running this business workshop and to see the diversity of entrepreneurs in Vermont!”
