Led by Lindsay Wolf of Alternatives Impact
Whether you would like to start brand new business, or operate a staple business in the community, one thing remains the same: you need a business plan. We know that building a business plan can be scary, so we’re here to help. In this workshop, the Tompkins Chamber is partnering with Alternatives Impact to offer an inside look into why it’s critical to the health of your business to have an up-to-date business plan and provide you with the tools to either build one from scratch, or revise an existing one.
Please join us on Wednesday, June 23rd from 12pm to 1:15pm to learn more about the process, ask any questions you may have about your business plan, and learn about how having a business plan can benefit you (and make you eligible to participate in funding opportunities in Tompkins County). Participants will also learn more about the Tompkins County Microenterprise Program and the RISE Loan Program during this session, and time will be allotted for Q & A.
The LEARN Webinar Series is sponsored by Tompkins Community Bank.
