Food Startup 101

Description

In partnership with the Iowa Western Small Business Development Center, Food Startup 101 is the first step toward starting a food business. This two-hour course is designed to help pre-launch food entrepreneurs – or anyone who has ever thought about starting a food business – understand the steps from idea to business. Topics include: startup costs and what to expect, setting up your business, health department and licensing, business planning and marketing.
