Business Question
A friend of mine is interested in opening a retail store in town. Are there any local resources available that can help budding entrepreneurs write business plans and connect with more experienced folk? Thanks. 11 comments from 7 users

I think there's still a SCORE presence in town: http://www.score.org/index.... Supposedly they have a storefront at 2100 Chester. I think that's the Weill Institute. posted by

Based on reports published on TBC, refiguy can also possibly help you with the repercussions of your business failing.

I knew it was Info, guess I should have explained I meant he DID include the White Chamber of Commerce. Also a bit of humor. (although it won't be taken that way by some) Aside from that I still don't know why it has to be divisive. Why not The Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce period Or am I opening another can of worms? We could do a heck of a lot of fishing with all the worms we keep digging up around here. spam code KY SRV Hmmmmmm......... posted by
