An informational session will be held on Wednesday, February 20

What
is Small Business Jump Start?
Our
goal is to provide the educational skills, support, and loan assistance
necessary to assist entrepreneurs to achieve economic success
through start-up or expansion of a business. Small Business Jump
Start is a vehicle to deliver small enterprise development assistance
to people with the right combination of drive, determination,
and business skills who have limited access to economic or educational
resources. There are few services available to assist entrepreneurs
at this level. Small Business Jump Start will provide those services
to individuals to help them achieve their goals of becoming successful
business owners.
Who
can benefit?
Owners
or potential owners of small businesses who need to develop entrepreneurship
skills, a business plan, market awareness, and start-up funding
options.
