Entrepreneurial & Small Business
Intensive Training for New and Emerging Businesses
The Small Business Boot Camp series has been designed specifically to provide new and emerging businesses with the opportunity to learn best practices on topics critical to small business success. Although small business owners are experts in what they do, we offer courses that supplement this knowledge to address the daily running of a business. Our online Entrepreneur Suite or individual courses will help you to avoid common small business mistakes and to learn the most effective strategies and practices for starting and growing a successful business.
If you are ready to establish an office for your business, choose our Small Business Growth Center at 445 Marshall Street, Phillipsburg, NJ where you will be represented by professional office space and enjoy a below-market rental rate that includes office equipment, internet, utilities, meeting spaces and more.

Creating a Successful Business Plan
Turn your business ideas into a solid plan for financing and long-term success. Committing your idea to paper in the form of a business plan not only increases your chances of obtaining financing but also in keeping your business strategically focused. With the support of your instructor and a network of like-minded students, you’ll work through all of the major components of writing a business plan and emerge with your first draft in hand. And most importantly, you will have completed the first–and most difficult–step on the path to small business success.
