With the economy in recession, and some companies downsizing, a lot of people are rethinking their career paths. Some people who have been employed their entire careers and deciding to take the leap into entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship classes are booming. What they're finding is a whole host of issues they need to think about and address: location, seed capital, working capital loans, etc.
My company is currently looking for talented, passionate would-be entrepreneurs in the North Country. We're looking for people with good business ideas, and they don't have to have all the other pieces in place already.
Because we have actual concrete experience starting a successful small business in the North Country, and because we have big business corporate management experience as well, we think we can help entrepreneurs looking to start their business.
So forget about business plans, forget about loans, forget about seed capital, forget about all these things for a second.
1) Briefly describe your idea
2) Tell us about yourself and your experience
We look forward to hearing from you.
