Newbie Entrepreneurs in Northern Kentucky Can Get Advice on Running A Successful Startup

Often, knowing the pitfalls of operating a small business can be just as important as knowing best practices. Now Newport area entrepreneurs can get this knowledge and more in a series of upcoming workshops about small business ownership and management.

These sessions are geared toward new, potential and first-time small business owners who have a great idea, but need some help with business know-how. The Small Business Development Center at Northern Kentucky University and the City of Newport are sponsoring the series.

"These are for early-stage companies, business that are sufficiently young that they don't have deeply established accounting and management practices but want to move toward a more formalized regular accounting system. This is about more than keeping track of sales, it's a tool to give them management information," said Small Business Development Center Director Carol Cornell.

The Small Business Development Center has offered similar classes in various Northern Kentucky cities. The center serves Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, and Pendleton counties and also serves the broader Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati metropolitan areas.

The first two sessions have passed, but an opportunity remains and it's not too late to join. The May 3 session is "Financing and Tax Strategies for Small Business," an overview of available loan programs and funding sources, at the Newport City Building, 998 Monmouth St., in the first floor multi-purpose room. Registration and parking are free, but you must sign up.

For more information or to register, go to the Small Business Development Center at Northern Kentucky University.
