Successfully launch a new business by completing the “Starting Right” class developed by the Business Enterprise Center at Wright State University-Lake Campus. The two-hour class delivers much of the basic information necessary for successful business ownership.

Each participant receives a “Starting Right” packet including legal, record-keeping, tax and general business information. A business plan questionnaire and cash flow projection worksheet is also included.  During the class, a business counselor provides an overview of the information as well as instruction on the basics of business ownership. Cost of the class is $35 per business payable the night of the class.

After the class, participants will need to start on their paperwork, but are not expected to complete all of the paperwork on their own. A business counselor is available to guide participants through the process and answer questions as necessary. Personal business counseling services are free and no limit is placed on the number of appointments. Business counselors tackle problems such as business financing for start-ups, expansions, acquisitions, business management issues, tax and record-keeping issues, etc.

The class meets at the Van Wert Business Innovation Center on Fox Road from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, May 26. Those interested can register by calling either the Business Enterprise Center at Wright State at 419.586.0355 or the Van Wert Economic Development Office at 419.238.2999.
