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 contact Mr. MacDonald at (519) 482-9574.
