Pre-Business

You've dreamed of being your own boss...owning your own business...being independent. You know your business, but you could use some help getting started - perhaps a brush up on record keeping or a few tips to give your sales a boost. Reward yourself by attending one of these interactive workshops:

Going into Business
Gets you up and running fast! Our classes cover state and federal license requirements, how to get your tax ID number and key information for Oregon employers.

This three-hour workshop is designed to help you evaluate your business ideas and what it's like to be self-employed, explore sources of financing, develop a business plan and a good record keeping system. You receive a copy of the Oregon Business Guide "How to Start a Business in Oregon". Going into Business workshops are held monthly in Corvallis, Lebanon and Albany.
