COURSE OVERVIEW

This new class is a much deeper dive into that critical subject: planning YOUR business. Leo Sharkey and Roger Wood of Echo Chamber Consulting work with both brewers and distillers, helping to plan business launch and growth, and now, they are going to help YOU. Experts in entrepreneurship, best business practices, and anticipating regulatory hurdles, these gentlemen are going to help you put it all on paper, before costly mistakes are made – keeping $$ in your pocket! (For a little while longer, anyway.)
