First Step Fasttrac Business Series
To Start Nov. 4 At Small Business Center

ASHEBORO, N.C.--Randolph Community College's Small Business Center will offer the First Step FastTrac small business training series beginning Nov. 4. The FastTrac programs were designed to help people start or grow a business by offering a condensed series of training courses that end with students producing business plans for their ventures.

Students will attend one class each week for 12 weeks. The desired outcome is that the participant successfully complete a written feasibility plan that can be used to help decide if the business idea is a "go" or "no go." Topics include communicating the business concept, gathering information, products and services, market analysis, price and profitability, profits, cash flow, resources for success, and next steps.

The registration fee for the total program is $100, but documented dislocated workers can take the series free of charge.

The first class will meet from 6 - 9 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 4, on the Asheboro Campus.

For more information or to register, please call the Small Business Center at (336) 633-0275; Archdale area residents may register through the Archdale Campus by calling (336) 862-7980.
