Meet with a Counselor
Several organizations throughout the state offer free one-on-one sessions with trained counselors. Counselors can help guide you from evaluating your idea to planning your business and can address a number of start-up issues, including markets, competition, operations and your business plan. When you contact a potential counselor, be specific about what information you need and what kind of business you are starting so you can be matched with the best resource.
Before meeting with a counselor, make note of the following:
- Questions from your market research
- Concerns about how your business will operate
- Issues about competition or location
