Small Business Workshop: Bricks and Mortar for Your Business

We are offering a series of workshops on different subjects related to starting/running a small business led by SCORE volunteers, the nation’s largest network of expert business mentors. In this workshop, join Nina Murrell for an overview of the design and construction process.

Nina provides a start-to-finish overview of the design and construction process and how to optimize that process to enhance your business plan and set you up for success in your new location. She will focus on purpose, performance, people, preparation and how the project will progressively impact and update your business plan. Included are:

• Financial and cultural objectives and aspirations of the project
• Challenges, opportunities, strengths, weaknesses before, during and after the project
• Key decision makers and stakeholders for your project and organizational lines of accountability
• Buffer for unknowns during the process and backup business plans
