Watertown- The NYS Small Business Development Center is offering its
    Entrepreneurial Training Course this spring over seven weeks on Thursday
    evenings from April 21 through June 2 at Jefferson Community College in
    Watertown. The course is co-sponsored by JCC’s Continuing Education
    Department, Jefferson Country Economic Development and Watertown Local
    Development Corporation, and costs $195.

    The purpose of the Entrepreneurial Training Course is to provide guidance and
    support to individuals interested in starting or expanding a small business.   
    The course takes entrepreneurs through all aspects of starting and running a
    small business and features speakers from professional fields such as
    accounting, law, insurance, banking and advertising.  The course also includes
    a one-on-one discussion with an SBDC Advisor to discuss each participant’s
    specific business project. The course will cover how to check credit reports and
    how to address any related problems.

    Attendees will learn what goes into a business plan, what types of loans to
    apply for, what types of insurances are recommended as well as information on
    contract agreements, marketing, the microenterprise loan program and
    bookkeeping.
