In addition, attendees will get the opportunity to ask questions about a specific business idea and any next steps in their startup process. This course is highly recommended for anyone developing a new for-profit business concept.
There is a $10 register fee to cover administrative cost. Registrants should anticipate paying by check or cash at the door. (Checks should be made payable to “SIUE.”)
