Blog Post: Thinking of Going it Alone? There’s More to Starting Your Own Business Than Just Hanging a Sign.


posted Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:06 PM

After a job layoff or corporate transition, many people (maybe even you) may consider starting their own business.

If you’re one of those people with an entrepreneurial side, you might have a business dream worth exploring. With all the experience you’ve gained by working for someone else, now may be the time to apply those skills to your own venture, with your own terms. Sounds exciting!

Before just “hanging your sign”, there are other, more practical issues to consider first, such as: 

  • How can I find the right business for me?
  • Is a start up the answer, or maybe a franchise?
  • What is the best legal structure for my new business?
  • How should I set up my accounting system?
  • How can I get the funds I need to run my business?
  • Are there funds still available for new businesses?
  • How much professional help should I seek now and after the business is operating?

    Get all these questions and more answered in one place – at the Entrepreneurial Panel of Experts discussion on October 28, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm, in the Jobing.com offices in downtown Denver . 

    The panel of experts will include a business attorney, an accountant, a franchise consultant and a small business lender. Each expert will make a brief presentation to get the discussion started, then will answer all your questions in an open format. 

    The event is free and open to the public but seating is limited and reservations are required. To reserve your spot, contact Cindy Rayfield at crayfield@frannet.com, or call 720-261-4391.
