HAMMOND – The Louisiana Small Business Development Center (LSBDC) at Southeastern
Louisiana University will hold a free seminar in Bogalusa Aug. 1 designed to help
individuals interested in starting a business.
The seminar titled “Starting and Financing Your Business Idea” will take place
from 9 a.m. to noon at the Northshore Technical Community College Sullivan Campus,
located at 1710 Sullivan Dr., and is co-sponsored by the Bogalusa Chamber of Commerce
and NTCC.
“This workshop is highly recommended for all individuals interested in determining
the feasibility of their business ideas and for those planning to start or who have
recently started a small business. It would also be helpful for anyone seeking a small
business loan or wanting to learn more about business planning,” said Sandy Summers,
assistant director of the Small Business Development Center.
Topics to be covered include writing a business plan, sources of funds for start-up
and expansion, small business resources, and required licenses.
Immediately following the class, Summers said, LSBDC will offer a limited number
of one-on-one, free, confidential meetings with a business consultant.
“You must reserve a spot for a one-on-one meeting, as limited appointments are
available” she said. “Appointments can be made by calling 985-549-3831 or emailing
lsbdc.slu@lsbdc.org.
