Do you have a great idea for a business venture, but aren’t certain where to begin?
Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs wants to help people who have business start-up ideas to get those ideas off the ground.
To help launch those ideas and to generate interest in the 2018 Ropp Triplett Business Plan Competition, BCE launches a weekly “Talk Back” series.
“It’s where business owners and other professionals meet and lead question and answer sessions about starting and maintaining a small business,” said Eric Berdin, BCE director.
