Start-ups
From startup workshops to extensive resources of information, Florida SBDC at PCED has the tools your businesses needs to evaluate concepts and make decisions.
Business plan assistance.
A business plan serves as your road map for the early years of your start-up and will guide you through every stage of starting and managing your business. It’s a way to think through the key elements of your business.
Business plans can help you get funding or bring on new business partners, and investors will want to feel confident they’ll see a return on their investment. Receive assistance with your start-up and business plan by attending a “How to Start a Business” workshop by registering for an appointment with a consultant from Florida SBDC at Pinellas County.
