The beginning of a new year is a time that sees many people both starting a news business
or making modifications to an existing one. Alabama State University's Small Business
Development Center (SBDC) has a free-of-charge, special, two-hour live virtual course being offered on the evening of Dec. 15, which
will give the "ABC's" to business entrepreneurs that will help make doing so more
understandable, successful and profitable.
"During our informative virtual workshop, participants will learn the basics of how
to start a business in Alabama and put together a coherent business plan which will
act as their road map to success," Mosley states. "I will help work each participant
through all things they need to understand in a broad format about opening a new small
business or expanding an existing one so they may navigate through the red-tape and
regulations, which may be challenging without some insight into what departments of
government one needs to contact and what forms to fill out and file."
A SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESS IS IMPORTANT TO A SOUND ECONOMY
Mosley stated that the success of America's small businesses are paramount to the
healthiness of the nation and its citizens prosperity.
"Small businesses are the veritable backbone of our economy. Their vibrancy and success
help fund good roads, equipment for fire departments and law enforcement, healthcare
for those in need, clean water and even our nation's military, to name but a few,
which their tax money supports," Mosley stated. "That is why Alabama State pursues
these free small business classes due to the University's dedication to President
Quinton T. Ross, Jr.'s ideal of what he calls 'CommUniversity,' which is utilizing
all things ASU so they may contribute to the success and welfare of the residents
and institutions, which ASU exists within."
