Starting a Home Based Business (San Leandro)

These well-known corporations all started out as home-based businesses. In fact, more than half of all U.S. businesses are based out of an owner’s home.
This free seminar discusses several elements necessary for starting a successful home-based business. These elements include:
* Business planning
