This course will cover eight (8) separate sections on the proper operation of a business, which includes a variety of topics important to small business start-ups and existing businesses. From making the initial decision to starting a business, to planning for your company's tax savings, this course will help you with opening a business, as well as keeping that business running as efficiently as possible. The course will be presented in a weekly, step by step, practical approach to business as opposed to a theoretical or academic approach, with the small business owner and potential owner in mind. Material covered each week will later be included in the different sections of a business plan.

Over the years, hundreds of local business owners have gotten their start after attending this series of classes. In addition, many established businesses have found the classes helpful for updates on tax laws, and other legal rules and regulations examined throughout this course.
