Event Details

Do you have a novel business idea but don't know where to start or interested in exploring your financial options? Portland Public Library is working with New Ventures Maine to bring an exploratory course on self-employment to our PPL community. 

New Ventures Maine, a statewide program operating out of the University of Maine at Augusta, aims to help everyday Mainers achieve financial security on their own terms. In pursuit of this mission, New Ventures will be operating a beginner's level course on self employment that will cover topics such as:

  • How to assess your business idea
  • Forming and naming your business
  • Elements of a business plan
  • Strategies and resources for success

Attendance is open, but registration with New Ventures is welcome for statistical purposes. You can register at:
