MaineStream Finance offers Business Workshops during National Entrepreneurship Week

This annual celebration is designed to expand the visibility of National Entrepreneurship Week in the United States. Our plans are to institutionalize it as a celebration of American entrepreneurs and the lifelong learning educational opportunities that prepare the NEW business leaders of the future. The Week is in response to the U S House of Representatives Resolution #699, supporting an annual National Entrepreneurship Week and encouraging the celebration of it annually at the local, state, and national levels.

These trainings, offered through MaineStream Finance, a subsidiary of Penquis, provides an overview of the pros and cons of operating a microenterprise, what a business plan is, why it is needed and resources for business development assistance. There is no cost to participate but pre-registration is required.
