Every entrepreneur has questions, and whenever one question is answered another one soon arises. For instance, did you know that your business has a credit score? Do you know where to find mailing lists, competitor lists, market research, and statistical information? If necessary, do you know where to find a free Notary Public?
Join us for an interactive discussion with professionals from Rogue Community College's Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Jackson County Library Services, and the Talent Business Alliance. These entrepreneurial support organizations provide valuable resources that can save you time and money as you grow your business.
These professionals may help you to discover answers for business matters that you weren't even aware of! Let us help you identify and address these easily-missed business gems - after all, your business success is what we’re here for!
