WORKING TOGETHER
Starting or running a business involves planning, making key financial decisions and completing a series of legal compliance activities. You'll need to conduct market research, learn about hiring employees, figure out the Ohio Business Gateway and more. That can seem daunting to the new business owner, but it doesn’t have to be. Browse through the 10-Step Guide to Starting Your Business, and whether new or established, continue learning by registering for workshops at the State of Ohio or the Small Business Administration, and explore the personal support you received from your SBDC.
