HAMMOND – The Louisiana Small Business Development Center (LSBDC) at Southeastern
Louisiana University will present the seminar “Starting and Financing Your Veteran-Owned
Business” in Hammond on Tuesday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. –12 p.m.
Co-sponsored by Northshore SCORE, the seminar will be held at the LSBDC Southeastern
main office, located at 1514 Martens Drive.
“This workshop is highly recommended for veterans and military families interested
in determining the feasibility of their business idea, planning to start or have recently
started a small business, seeking a small business loan, or wanting to learn more
about business planning,” said Assistant Director of Southeastern’s SBDC Sandy Summers.
“Special focus will be placed on financing for veteran-owned businesses.”
Summers said topics of discussion include writing a business plan, sources of
funds for start-up and expansion, small business resources, and required licenses.
There is no cost to attend the event; however, pre-registration is preferred,
as seating is only guaranteed for registered attendees.
