OsweGROW Workshop To Give Small Businesses A Hand

OSWEGO, IL — Oswego businesses will benefit from OsweGROW, an organization offering a six-week intensive business plan workshop for small businesses in Oswego. They're partnering with the Village of Oswego, the Oswego Public Library and SCORE Fox Valley.

They'll focus on two types of small business owners: in-business and startups. Those in business will get some constructive help in growing or changing their businesses and those starting up will get an "A to Z" business plan development plan. Yes, there's homework.

The program, running for six Fridays starting on April 20, will meet from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

"All attendees will be provided with individualized support by SCORE mentors before, during and after class. Mentors will help you walk out with an action plan to move your business forward, and will be there to work with you after the workshop is completed," a press release from the Village of Oswego says.

The $99 program is designed to ensure every attendee has a complete and thorough business plan by the end.

You can sign up here.

The next workshop OsweGROW is running is called "Hiring the Best People," and will run from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, March 22, at the downtown Oswego campus of the Oswego Public Library.
