Tom made a conscious decision to leave his corporate career in 2018 in order to launch his own small business.  Eager to follow his passion for organic food and do something much more hands-on\, he launched Rise Bakehouse\, an organic sourdough bakery from his home in California.  He quickly built a strong consumer and wholesale customer base and learned all the different aspects of small business ownership in addition to sourdough baking. As the pandemic was gaining strength in 2019\, Tom and his family made an adventurous move from California to the East Coast via a ten-month RV trip across the country.  During their time on the road\, he and his wife assumed the role of co-teacher to their two children while traveling 21\,000 miles across 23 states\, exploring 16 national and 14 state parks.  They found their way to Charlottesville\, VA and chose it as their new home. Tom is now focused on launching his next food business here in Charlottesville and becoming an active member of the thriving small business community in central Virginia.

SUMMARY:Scottsville Community Business Launch: APPLICATION DEADLINE
DESCRIPTION:Compete to win up to $10\,000!\nMarch 2\, 2022 – April 20\, 2022 | Applications due Jan 26 \nThe Town of Scottsville is using state and federal grant funds to support business growth in vacant spaces downtown. Weekly classes will be facilitated by the Central Virginia Small Business Development Center (CVSBDC) to help aspiring entrepreneurs build their business plan. Completed plans will serve as grant applications. \nCourse Fee: $150 for the 8 week program \nApply here \nParticipants will join us for the 8 week program featuring 7 workshops\, culminating in a pitch competition for the prize money. \nWeek 1: Main Street Success Might Require Secret Sauce \nWeek 2: Starting Your Business \nWeek 3: Marketing\, Sales\, and Your Brand \nWeek 4: Launching Your Product or Service and Pricing \nWeek 5: Business Model \nWeek 6: Cash Flow\, Record Keeping\, and Funding \nWeek 7: Pitch Prep \nWeek 8: Pitch Competition \n  \nScottsville Community Business Launch FAQ’s:\nWhat kinds of businesses are you looking for? \nMost. The Town has zoning that affects where certain businesses can operate\, but that’s not hard to answer case by case. Market research and surveys show strong support for restaurants\, niche retail like clothing\, personal services\, and health and medical services. All kinds of creative ideas are welcome! \nI already do business in Scottsville. Is this for me? \nMaybe. The program’s main goal is to fill vacant buildings and create jobs. It would be great to expand your home-based business to a storefront and hire more staff. An existing business must expand their physical space\, or grow their services by hiring two or more full-time employees. \nHow quickly do I have to open my business? \nYour business must be open in town by September 30\, 2022. The sooner the better! Summertime tourism is a strong boost in Scottsville. \nWhat kind of data will be collected from my business? \nNot much different from your tax filings\, and the records will remain confidential. For three years\, the Town needs to report to the grant agency about the size of your building\, amount spent on equipment\, and amount of taxes paid.
