So you think you’ve got a good idea. Maybe you have a few. Maybe you have a notebook of them, because while you’re awake (and when you’re sleeping) you’re constantly thinking of awesome business ideas. You’re not alone.

But if you’ve never run your own business, or even started a business, it may seem overwhelming–where do you start? It’s really fun to think about the idea…the not-so-fun part for many dreamers and schemers is the business side of things. What’s the best corporate structure for you? How do you protect your IP? Do you REALLY need insurance, and if so, what kind? What will your accounting needs be, even if you don’t make any money for a year or so?

A good idea may get put on the back burner, simply because you never really knew who to ask. And, starting and running a business correctly can really be overwhelming. So let’s talk.

Join us this Thursday at Chase Tower, at 6:30, Lower Level Conference Room (L1 on the elevator) for an open, very candid conversation aimed at answering all your questions, from how to validate your idea to what apps help you track your expenses. You’ll also meet excellent people who can help move your idea or early-stage company forward, regardless of your business interest.

This session is also good for people who also think they know what they are doing, but suspect there may be someone useful to them at the meeting. Inevitably, in all of our sessions, even the most seasoned entrepreneur walks away with something new to think about. This program is just as interesting and useful for mentors and friends of entrepreneurs as it is useful for startups.

Gray, Griffith and Mays, a.c. will host this event, providing light refreshments. Please let us know if you’re planning to attend! RSVP HERE.
