Business Support
If you have always wanted to start a new business, but didn’t know where to begin, we can help.
In addition to helping build new businesses, the Center for Entrepreneurship offers services to help existing businesses.
Cup of Joe
Cup of Joe is a simple way to engage entrepreneurs in our community. Every Wednesday morning, two entrepreneurs share their story with a diverse audience of mentors, advisors, and fellow business owners.
Entrepreneurs gain insightful feedback while connecting with a supportive community that cares about their progress.
Business Opportunities
Succession planning is key to protecting your business, your family and your employees. We can help you determine the right options for your business and then tailor a plan that meets your needs while connecting you with resources – or even potential buyers. All services are free and confidential.
