South Suburban College Offering Free Business Workshops
One never knows if a new business or product will be successful. Some take off, while others fail.
Experts recommend looking critically and impartially at your new business idea when determining whether or not it's worth investing time and money. Of course, it can be difficult remaining impartial about an idea you're passionate about, so talking to a business advisor for qualified and objective perspectives, might be a good idea.
Entrepreneurs looking to get a business idea off the ground can take advantage of free small business workshops offered by South Suburban College’s Business & Career Institute and SCORE, Service Corp. of Retired Executives.
While there are no guarantees that your business will succeed, advice and input from experts can go a long way.
The upcoming two-part workshop takes place Nov. 12 and 19 at the college’s Oak Forest Center, 16333 S. Kilbourne Ave.
Attendees have the option of attending one or both of the workshops at no charge to help their business grow and also take advantage of the networking opportunities.
Registration and networking at SCORE workshops begin at 8:45 a.m., with instruction and discussion to follow from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
Presented by Eric Hager, of William Innes & Wilbur Pelt, workshops are on the following dates:

· A Friendly Shark Tank Atmosphere
