Small Business Resource Clinics are a Success!

Our staff has been presenting Small Business Resource Clinics at community sites throughout our 8 county service area .  These free, informative seminars are designed to take the mystery out of developing a successful small business.  So far, we’ve been to Milford, Wilkes-Barre, Honesdale, Scranton and Hazleton and the feedback has been phenomenal!   

We have plans to visit Tunkhannock, Gibson and Pittston in the very near future.  Check our upcoming events listing for dates and times.  If you are thinking about starting a small business or if you have already started and realize you still have questions, the Small Business Resource Clinic is what you need. This program reviews the steps needed to develop a successful business and links you to valuable resources to help you grow your business.

Receive quick and easy tips for writing your business plan and recommendations on how to use your plan to obtain financing, focus ideas, identify specific business objectives, and chart and manage growth.

The Small Business Resource Clinic will also take the mystery out of financing your business.  Learn how small business loans work, what documents and information are required, and review the requirements to qualify for small business financing. The clinic also explains about small business grants, what lenders look for, and how you can improve your chances of qualifying for a small business loan.

This seminar is designed to point the new or potential business owner in the right direction, providing an overview of:

  • Developing a business plan
  • Helpful community resources 
  • Financing options for your business 
  • What lenders look for and much more!

If you’ve attended one of our clinics, we’d love for you to share your thoughts.  What did you find most helpful?  What resources have you utilized so far?  Post your comments here!
