The small business center, SBC, of Forsyth Technical Community College located on Vine Street in Winston Salem, North Carolina is undeniably a beacon for success to small business owners. As a newly acquired entrepreneur, I have found that the courses provide knowledge and key points on how to create, start up, build, and manage a successful business. Some of these courses are taught on campus at the SBC and others are taught off site. There are also networking opportunities hosted by the mentors, students, and graduates of the sessions.

Where do I begin? As a local business owner, I find the resources, roundtable events, research, contemporary surroundings and feedback from other business owners invaluable.I am still pinching myself not wanting to believe they offer so much at no cost. If youre like me, then you know networking groups can cost many hundreds of dollars per year and many times you exhaust the resources pretty fast.Not at the SBC.Allan Younger and the rest of the crew over deliver. If you are a local business owner give your business the gift of joining the Small Business Center today. They will blow your mind.

The SBC is an invaluable resource to the community. Being a newcomer to the triad and new to the business world, the various workshops and support from staff has been wonderful. I’ve attended a few SBC’s events, and I ‘ve been extremely impressed with the information provided and the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals. As I continue to build my company, I look forward to continuing take advantage of this great resource.

Never realized the incredible FREE options, classes and connections that I would find at the SBC. I have truly grown from an idea and apprehension to a solid plan that is one of a kind. The mentors, the teachers and the staff have been great assets in helping me solidify my thoughts into a business platform. I look forward to TELLING everyone/DECIRLE a todos that I come across! #YaEsHora #JuntasSomosPoderosas @LatinasFinasdlc will never be the same! GRACIAS!

Ive attended several classes at Forsyth Tech at Innovation Quarter and highly recommend this organization for intense, short-term training. For example, I attended a Linkedin Workshop and developed my Linkedin site, posted comments, learned how to invite colleagues to my page, and developed (and changed) my profile in a three-hour time-frame. Many of the Courses/Workshop are hands-on in front of a computer allowing participants to follow the Instructor and leave with an actual product or products. On another occasion, I met with an SEO expert and obtained valuable information to launch my first childrens picture book on Kindle. If youre looking for one-on-one counseling or classes to advance your business expertise, Forsyth Tech at Innovation Quarter is the go-to place.

Ive attended several seminars at the SBC and have gain valuable knowledge for expansion and doing business better. If you are thinking of starting a business or need help revamping your business visit the small business center!
