Beginning on
September 4th, the ACCORD Allegany Business Center will be holding the fall
session of its EAP Small Business Training Course. Over a period of ten weeks,
the course will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.,
consisting of a total of 20 classes. Funded by the NYS Entrepreneurial
Assistance Program (EAP), this ACCORD course is designed to educate potential
and existing business owners about the ins and outs of running their own
business. Topics include: writing a business plan, choosing the right business
structure, accounting/finance, marketing, legal issues, social media, among
others. The curriculum will feature traditional classroom lectures, local guest
presenters speaking on their areas of expertise, in-class activities, and ends
with a business plan competition.
Thanks to a generous sponsorship from the ALCO Federal
Credit Union, the winner of the business plan competition at the end of the
course will be the recipient of ALCO’s Business Plan Award in the amount of
$1,000.
For more information on the course or if you are interested
in registering, please contact Bryan Payne, the ACCORD Business and Loan
