Thursday, December 4, 2008 | Source: metromode
Oakland County is looking to give its budding business community a hand up.

The Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center will start its Venture Forward program next spring. The idea is help mentor, counsel and support entrepreneurs looking to start their own business.

The 10-week program will use the FastTrac GrowthVenture system to help those attending evaluate their opportunities and issues while coming up with a plan to drive sales and profits.

The entrepreneurs will develop an overall business strategy for growth, plan for financial needs so they can avoid cash-flow problems, a structure for efficient operations and how to find the right people to get the job done.

The 10 sessions will take place on Friday morning between March 6 and May 8. People can sign up now for $250 or $299 next year. For information, call Lola Aré at (248) 858-2021 or click here.
