Realize Bradenton Recruiting for Free Entrepreneurship Program

| Suncoast Post Staff |

Realize Bradenton is pleased to announce recruitment for the fifth cohort of The Start-Up Circle Entrepreneurship Program. The Start-Up Circle is an energizing 9-session business and project planning course designed for aspiring and newly established entrepreneurs who want to accelerate their businesses.

Classes are taught by local experts and cover the basics of starting or bolstering an independent business – from licensing to financial literacy, market research to cash flow, and more. Participants leave the class with a completed business plan, a cohort of entrepreneurs in the Bradenton area, sources of small business capital, and the knowledge and confidence to take their ideas to the next level.

Evelyn Almodovar, founder of The Zen Barn Bradenton, says, “The Start-Up Circle was a game-changing experience for my small business. The resources provided helped me reach that next level in which I am now operating a successful nonprofit with a vision and business plan to guide me.”
