Essentials of Starting a Business

If you have ever thought about starting your own business, we have a multi-part classroom series in Ocala that will guide you through all of the key elements of turning that dream into a reality. Also consider this series if you already have a business that could use a boost.

This series is designed for aspiring and emerging business owners. The presenters are all SCORE volunteers with decades of business experience in the topics they teach. Our goal is to provide you with the background you need to get started on the path to success. The Essentials of Starting a Business Curriculum, described here, is composed of 4 sections spread over 9 classroom workshops.
