Are you ready to jump-start your entrepreneurial dream? Most entrepreneurs start with a home-based business that creates, delivers, or improves on a product or service. In this one-hour introductory and interactive course, join Sonia Smith, Specialist with the U.S. Small Business Administration to discuss:

• Generating the idea

• Applying the rules

• Creating the plan

• Evaluating the financing

• Accessing mentoring and training resources

The U.S. Small Business Administration makes the American dream of business ownership a reality. As the only go-to resource and voice for small businesses backed by the strength of the federal government, the SBA empowers entrepreneurs and small business owners with the resources and support they need to start, grow or expand their businesses, or recover from a declared disaster. Services to Wayne and Pike Counties are delivered through the Eastern Pennsylvania SBA field office in King of Prussia and through partnerships with public and private organizations. Your facilitator, Sonia Smith, was a successful entrepreneur who started a home-based business that grew to 15 full-time employees before selling it and joining the public sector. Sonia serves as an SBA specialist in the areas of Economic Development, Lender Relations, and Public Information.
