Spanish Business Plan Training in Lexington
Lyons, Nebraska - The Rural Enterprise Assistance Project (REAP), a program of the Center for Rural Affairs, along with the Lexington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a Spanish Business Plan Basics training in Lexington, Nebraska. The training is for small business owners/managers or those interested in developing a business idea. Dora Vivas will be the instructor. The five-week training will be on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Lexington Public Library located at 907 North Washington, starting July 16th, 2008 until August 13th, 2008.
The business planning workshop series will include the following main topics: Marketing, Promotion/Advertising, Financial Management, Customer Relations and Goal Setting. REAP collaborates with the University of Nebraska EDGE Program in utilizing the NxLevel Micro-Entrepreneurs curriculum called “Business Plan Basics”.
The course registration includes an annual membership to REAP and the NxLevel manual for micro-entrepreneurs which are excellent resources when the course is completed. “REAP members have ongoing access to business technical assistance services, and a micro-loan program for small businesses," said Flock. “These skills are essential in the 'make it or break it' early years of a business.”
Based on income eligibility, scholarships are available to reimburse the materials part of the registration fee.
