Attendee Testimonials:

"I thought the course was extremely efficient, it covered all material subjects related to start-up in a timely and well measured format.  Thank you!"

"I enjoyed, learned from, and fully recommend this course!"

"After attending the workshop I realized that owning a business involved a bit more than I wanted to tackle currently. However, I found it so informative that if I ever have another business idea, I would definitely call the Onondaga SBDC for assistance."

"It was a pleasure to participate in Fast Track to Business at SBDC. The training was filled with amazing speakers and very practical information. I got so much out of this training!"
