Young Entrepreneur Mentoring Program
The Create Columbus Work Committee will
be kicking off development of a program for
students to interact with successful small
business owners in the Central Ohio area that
strongly demonstrates the value and importance
(personal & professional) of starting your
business in Columbus.
Small Business Resource Guide
Columbus is currently one of the cities in the U.S.
with the least number of new small businesses.
The Create Columbus Work Committee is
working to bridge the gap between the dreams
of small business entrepreneurs and the reality of
opening up a business.
One of the ways we hope to provide help is by
creating a young professional focused ‘road
map’ to starting a business in Columbus. This
road map is a simple, step-by-step process that
identifies resources that can help with every
detail a small business owner would need in
order to start up.
