Business Builder Workshops: Save Your Money

Event description

Across America, people are launching businesses at a record pace, yet many unknowingly spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on unnecessary formation services. This presentation highlights how business owners can avoid costly third-party filing companies and instead use fast, secure, and straightforward state and federal systems at little to no cost. 

Participants will learn how to file an LLC directly through the Secretary of State, obtain a free EIN from the IRS, and open a business bank account without paying “formation specialists.” The session also introduces the robust network of no-cost business support available to small business owners nationwide, including VBOC, SBDC, Women’s Business Centers, APEX Accelerators, and local economic development partners, ensuring entrepreneurs have trusted guidance every step of the way. 

Attendees will leave empowered with practical knowledge, clear next steps, and confidence to launch their businesses efficiently while keeping more of their startup capital where it belongs: in their business. 

Presented by Michael Danielson, VBOC of the Dakotas Director
