The Community Development Corporation in Orillia is collaborating with Nicole Hankin from the Small Business Centre for Barrie, Simcoe County & Orillia in putting on a four-part business start-up series - sign up to learn about business planning, ask questions, to network and to enjoy light lunches.
This is a great opportunity for those who are at the very beginning stages of starting and planning a business.
As each session builds on the one before it, it's important to attend all four sessions. The series is free to attend.
