The Virginia Department of Business Assistance leads a series of entrepreneurial business and management workshops across Virginia to assist new business startups and existing small businesses! These workshops are designed to provide information on available business resources and deliver practical, hands-on training covering key elements of business practice. Workshop segments will include information on how to start and operate a business, growing an existing business, marketing strategies, financing and available resources. The program was created by Sandy Ratliff in our Abingdon office in 2006.
