BUSINESS AND PERSONAL FINANCE COURSES

Small Business Classes

Starting a successful small business is a complex process. Explore the critical issues of planning, financing, and marketing with the Director of Helena’s Small Business Development Center. You will walk through financial statements and understand how they work, how they work together, and what you need to know to effectively manage your business. He will simplify the business planning process and the elements of a good plan. You will learn what questions to ask and where to find information about your industry, your market, and target markets. These classes are a prerequisite to receive free business consulting services from the Small Busiiness Development Center (SBDC) and Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE).
