WATERTOWN — The New York State Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Watertown is offering its entrepreneurial training course in two versions this winter to people interested in starting a new business or growing their existing one.
The classroom course will be held over seven weeks on Thursday evenings from Jan. 10 through Feb. 21, 2019 at Jefferson Community College (JCC) in Watertown. The course features different speakers each week who are professionals in their fields — banking, marketing, accounting, insurance, and business law, the SBDC said.
A 14-week online version of the course will begin on Feb. 4 and run through May 10, 2019. It covers the same materials in seven modules with videos from local experts, but participants have two weeks to complete each section and work at their own pace and location on their own computer. The courses are co-sponsored by JCC’s Continuing Education Department, Jefferson Country Economic Development (JCED), Watertown Local Development Corp. (WLDC), and M&T Bank. Either course costs $195.
The courses are open to everyone in the North Country. For these two courses, the SBDC says it is able to offer free tuition to veterans, military members, and spouses through a special program income funding opportunity.
The purpose of the entrepreneurial training course is to provide guidance and support to individuals interested in starting or expanding a small business with timely information on tax laws, social-media trends, and more, per the SBDC. The course will cover how to check credit reports and how to address any related problems.
Upon successful completion of the course, qualified participants starting or operating a business locally will be eligible to apply for a low-interest, micro-enterprise loan of up to $40,000. North Country residents have access to a number of funding sources including JCED, WLDC, Lewis County Economic Development, Development Authority of the North Country (DANC), and Adirondack Economic Development Corporation (AEDC). Two other loan programs include the NYS Excelsior Growth Fund SmartLoan and the North Country Veteran Business Loan Fund (through AEDC).
For more information or to register, contact the SBDC at JCC at (315) 782-9262. The deadline to register for the classroom version is Jan. 7.
For the online course, the registration deadline is Jan. 28 and can be paid by a credit or debit card at https://feb19etc.eventbrite.com or by calling (315) 782-9262. If participants are veterans, military or spouses, they should not pay online but should call the SBDC directly to register, the center said.
This program is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The Watertown Small Business Development Center serves Jefferson, Lewis, and Oswego Counties. Since its start in 1986, the advisors of the Watertown SBDC have worked directly with 21,627 businesses, helping them to invest$328.5 million in the area’s economy, and create or save 9,986 jobs, the SBDC says.
