MASON CITY – North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) are offering a free two-hour workshop designed for anyone who is considering starting a business.  At Start Smart, participants will learn how to create a business plan, do market research, consider different types of business ownership, and learn how to register a business.

Upcoming Start Smart Days, Times, and Locations:

All Start Smart Workshops are on Wednesdays:

May

6th —–Belmond          6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.   Chamber of Commerce

13th—-Mason City       6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.   NIACC Pappajohn Center 117

20th—-Clear Lake        10 a.m. – Noon             Chamber of Commerce

The activities involved in starting a business fall under two broad categories—feasibility (the business plan) and administrative tasks. While we like to focus on the feasibility issue, Smart Start provides information and the chance to ask questions on numerous other topics including:

  • Business Registration
  • Doing Customer research
  • How Bankers Evaluate Business Concepts and Loans
  • Start-up Costs
  • Business Plan tips

After attending Start Smart, Small Business Development Center (SBDC) staff will be available to assist you in reviewing your business plan, or to provide guidance with other issues.

To register, contact Mary Spitz, SBDC office at NIACC: 641.422.4342 or spitzmar@niacc.edu
