Small Business and Nonprofit Workspace, Garage Level

Drop-in lab for your business questions on starting a business, market research, business plans, and other useful connections.

This is your opportunity to ask questions in an informal setting about the business you are running or thinking of starting. If you have attended The One Year Action Plan or Minding Your Own Business you are able to get a "check-up" on your process.
There is no agenda, just an open forum to help you accelerate your business.

You may drop in any time during the open lab.

  • Refine your Very Simple System for Bookkeeping
  • Review and update your One Year Action Plan
  • Develop a business plan
  • Ask questions about local and state resources for your business
  • Research best practices for managing your business
  • Discover market trends and business ideas
