DCEDC Offers Entrepreneurial Training Program Jan. 23 – March 20

The Door County Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) and the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at UW-Green Bay are proud to once again sponsor an entrepreneurial training program in Door County. Beginning Jan. 23 at NWTC-Sturgeon Bay, the eight-week business planning course takes students through a step-by-step approach to researching and writing a professional business plan.

The training program will give participants the opportunity to: identify and meet market needs; evaluate concept and plans for moving forward; develop a working knowledge of business fundamentals such as marketing, product/service development, management, and financials; begin building an infrastructure for business operations and processes; explore the risk and success factors in the marketplace; understand how to access the human, financial and business resources; network with entrepreneurs and professionals; respond to changes that can impact the business; and build an actionable business plan.

The program will be held every Monday evening, Jan. 23 through March 20. The course is open to those who are considering starting their own business, existing small businesses struggling to get a handle on all the details, or successful businesses looking to grow.

The cost for the training program is only $250, including books and materials. The course usually costs $1,000, however the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation is offering an Entrepreneurial Training Grant to qualified applicants that covers 75 percent of the tuition.
