Start-Up Circle

The Start-Up Circle is a free, 9-session business and project planning course designed for aspiring and newly established entrepreneurs.

Classes are taught by local experts and cover the basics of starting or bolstering an independent business – from licensing to financial literacy, market research to cash flow and more. Participants leave the class with a completed business plan, a cohort of entrepreneurs in the Bradenton area, sources of small business capital, and the knowledge and confidence to take their ideas to the next level.

• Next cohort classes will be held Tuesdays, May 20 – July 15, 2025. 

• Interest Forms are available April 8 – May 16, 2025.
