Business & Financing Workshop
Posted March 27, 2013 at 5:25 am by Tim Dustrude
And as long as we’re on the subject of the EDC….
The San Juan County Economic Development Council will present a FREE half-day workshop for small businesses and entrepreneurs on San Juan Island, on Wednesday, April 3, from 8:30 a.m. until noon.
The business and financing workshop course material will be presented by James McCafferty, of the Economic Development Association of Skagit County, a management consultant for over a decade.
As part of the workshop, McCafferty will cover business financing, discuss a variety of financing options and will provide a reality check for those considering a new or expanded business venture. He will be available for one-on-one consultation after the workshop.
Participants in the workshop will leave with the resources and support they need to create a business plan including a realistic financial plan. In addition, McCafferty will cover current federal and Washington State tax incentive programs for small businesses.
Details: Wednesday, April 3, from 8:30 a.m. until noon. The class will be held at the San Juan Island Library in the meeting room.
Advance registration required. Call (360) 378-2906 to reserve your space, or email: info [@] sanjuansedc.org.
The EDC thanks the San Juan Island Library, San Juan County government, the Town of Friday Harbor, the Port of Friday Harbor and the Port of Lopez for supporting our Business Education Series.
The San Juan County Economic Development Council’s Business Education Series was created by the EDC in response to concerns from local business owners and overall increased demand from new businesses. This series will present a variety of business topics designed for both those opening a new business or those wanting to take their business to the next level.
