The School of Business and the Regional Economic Development Resource Center at IU Southeast will offer a workshop “Planning Essentials for Entrepreneurs.” With the support of the YMCA of Southern Indiana, the workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturdays from Feb. 6 to April 10, at their facilities located at 33 State Street, New Albany.

The eight-session workshop seminar is designed for newcomers who want to develop a start-up plan and existing business owners who need to break away from their daily routine and plan for the future. The non-credit workshop will help participants prepare a business plan and will include tips on:

Understanding a business advantage

  • Developing a profitable firm
  • Building a marketing plan
  • Exploring legal issues
  • Identifying costs
  • Evaluating human resource needs
  • Addressing accounting and financial planning needs

The program is geared for current business owners, people considering starting or expanding a business, minority/women-owned businesses, and recently displaced workers seeking to build a business idea based upon their strengths.

Michael Harris, an assistant professor at IU Southeast, will lead the workshop. Michael teaches in the MBA program – recently ranked ninth in the nation – and brings to the classroom 20 years of industry experience as an executive in both multi-national corporations and in small businesses.

Register before Feb. 1 and the cost is $89 including all materials. The late registration fee is $99. For more information visit www.ius.edu/business or call Brenda Swartz at (812) 941-2494 or bswartz@ius.edu.
