This workshop is scheduled for a half day on Saturdays. It is conducted using a panel format, where participants are encouraged to ask questions and take part in the discussion of the topics covered.

Some of the topics covered in the workshop are: the legal organization of your business; marketing and sales; the fundamentals of financing; and operations and management.
