Starting a Home Based Business (San Leandro)

What do Apple Computer, Hershey’s, Mary Kay Cosmetics, and the Ford Motor Company have in common?

This free seminar discusses several elements necessary for starting a successful home-based business. These elements include:

* Business planning
* Licenses and permits
* Finances
* Marketing, including websites and social media

Understanding these issues is critical to becoming a successful home-based entrepreneur.
