Take the test: do you:

• Have a desire to succeed as a small business owner?
• Have the technical skills to deliver a great product or service?
• Need help with how to manage your business?
• Is your business running your life?

Make an investment in yourself to learn how to work on your business rather than in your business. Learn the business skills that will help you balance your work and life. SBM is held in both Josephine and Jackson Counties.

SBM is a nine-month business program that includes:

• Interactive classroom learning - 3 hours, once per month.
• 1-on-1 business advising - 2 hours per month.
• Business tools - we teach them and coach you on how to use them.
• Access to experts - in person during classes.
• Exchange ideas and experiences with other small business owners.
• Accountability - We help you keep accountable to what you say is important. We help you stay focused and prevent getting trapped in the trenches. We help you remember why you started this business in the first place and rediscover the passion for your work.

The SBM schedule is usually evenings (6-9pm) from October through June and tuition is $599 per business. The college has established a $300 tuition waiver for the first 20 businesses that apply, reducing your out-of-pocket cost to $299 for the entire 9-months.
