Targeted Services for Unemployed
Understanding the unique challenges faced by unemployed individuals seeking to start their own business, the SBDCs provide services tailored to their specific needs:
-
Through the our resource partners, SBDC consultants help you address concerns unique to your situation such as repairing credit, finding healthcare options, and looking at more non-traditional sources of financing
-
Partnerships often enable the SBDC to offer our First Step workshop to you at no charge. You must mention your situation during registration in order to have the fee waived.
-
Free online training will walk you some of the things you need to consider to get started, including business plan preparation, franchising basics, and accessing credit.
-
Free, confidential one-on-one consulting will help you assess the feasibility of your business idea and assess the realities of your financing options.
