Very few business owners know everything they need to know before they start their business. SCORE workshops are designed to help you "fill in the holes" of your knowledge and to provide new ideas and perspectives for your business.
The Rochester chapter of SCORE offers low-cost workshops designed to provide practical business information for the current or prospective business owner in both for-profit and not for-profit businesses. The workshops present an overview covering the basics of making your business successful. These workshops are in addition to the free counseling for small businesses that SCORE provides.
The instructors are chosen for their expertise in a specific area. Workshop speakers are SCORE members as well as accountants, lawyers, insurance brokers, bankers, U. S. Small Business Administration staff and other professionals in the local business community.
Attend a SCORE workshop and get answers to many of your business related questions such as:
- How do I know if I can succeed in my own business?
- How do I write a business plan?
- What is cash flow?
- How do I get financing for my business?
- How should the business be structured?
Other workshops cover topics such as:
- Marketing and sales
- Accounting, record keeping and tax issues
- Selling on the Internet
- Women’s Business Roundtable
- Home based businesses
