SUMMARY:Scottsville CBL - Money and Recordkeeping
DESCRIPTION:Week 6:\nMoney and Recordkeeping\nWeek 6 of the 8 week Scottsville Community Business Launch \n \nIn this interactive webinar we will share sources of capital\, establishing credit\, and tips for success in record keeping and cash flow management. We help you make the often dreaded recordkeeping work for you\, giving you tools to help you sleep at night knowing you are 1) making money\, 2) can pay your bills and 3) will be able to access additional capital when you need it.  \n\n\n\n\n  \nVirtual attendance available for entrepreneurs not participating in the cohort program: Register\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.
