Starting a business involves more than just having a good idea. This no-cost two-hour class is designed to help veterans, military spouses, and aspiring entrepreneurs understand the practical steps involved in getting a business off the ground in Alabama.

The class will also introduce veteran-focused business resources, SBA certification opportunities, and lending options that may be available to veteran-owned businesses.
Whether you are just beginning to explore an idea or ready to move forward, this class will provide a helpful overview of what it takes to start on a solid footing.
