A new series of workshops to
benefit small businesses in Huron
County may be starting this fall.
The Community Business Initia
tive (CBI) Program, being run
locally by the Federal Business
Development Bank, is gaining in
popularity in Huron County.
Workshops began last fall for
severa local businesses. The ninth
workshop was held in Clinton last
week.
The final workshop of this most
recent series will be held in
September, but a new series may
be starting again this fall if enough
businesses are interested in partici
pating.
Doug MacDonald, CBI advisor
for Huron, points out that 80 per
cent of small business ventures fail
in the first five years. “Many fail
due to inadequate management
skills evident in the lack of a
systematic approach to all aspects
of running a business, including
planning, marketing and imple
mentation,” he points out in a
press release.
The CBI program was introduced
in the fall of 1986 as a combination
of training and individual counsell
ing developed to provide business
people, particularly in smaller com
munities, with a learning process
tailored to their individual needs.
Workshops have touched on such
topics as cash flow analysis, setting
goals and objectives for small
businesses, arranging financing
and dealing with your banker,
human resources management,
motivating staff, marketing and
advertising. Sessions provide and
opportunity for local retailers, and
representatives of other businesses
to gain knowledge which would
help their businesses prosper in a
small towrrsetting.
The seminars are led by experi
enced workshop leaders drawn
from specific small business areas,
who are actively working in the
field under discussion.
Follow-up sessions are conduct
ed individually with the business
participants in their own shops and
offices.
Anyone wanting information on
the upcoming fall sessions can

482-9574.
