DEC. 14, 2017 | A dozen people across the Promise Zone received training on how to start a small business during a Dec. 13 workshop offered by the Center for a Better South.
The Entrepreneurial Boot Camp in Barnwell targeted to people who want to start for-profit businesses, but also offered advice for people interested in non-profits.
“Through the experts at the South Carolina Small Business Development Center, we’re pleased to be able to bring this kind of high-quality training to people in the six counties of the Promise Zone,” said Center President Andy Brack. “If you have a hobby that you want to turn into a business or want to brush up on business basics to make your existing small business work better, this free class may be just the thing for you.”
The course was taught by Earl Gregorich (shown above at right), who is senior business counselor with the S.C. Small Business Development Centers. An entrepreneur for more than 20 years, he recently received the Small Business Administration’s SBDC Excellence and innovation Award. An Air Force veteran, he and his wife live in Chapin.
