The course, for current and potential business owners, will be held at the EDC Team Jefferson office, 2410 Washington St., from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays through Nov. 8.
It is designed for individuals who are thinking of starting a business but who are not sure where to begin; those interested in developing a solid business plan; or business owners looking to enhance and refine their current plan and business practices.

“This was the best thing we’ve ever done for our business, and our business is higher this year because of it.”
