BCE launches Talk Back sessions in January

  • /

Do you have a great idea for a business venture, but aren’t certain where to begin?

Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs wants to help people who have business start-up ideas to get those ideas off the ground.

To help launch those ideas and to generate interest in the 2018 Ropp Triplett Business Plan Competition, BCE launches a weekly “Talk Back” series.

“It’s where business owners and other professionals meet and lead question and answer sessions about starting and maintaining a small business,” said Eric Berdin, BCE director.

Talk Backs include six weekly sessions, each on Thursdays from 6 to 7 p.m. at Twisted Whisk café, 103 N. Main St.

This year the New Leaf staff created a charming holiday feeling in the store. And, of course, their decorating ideas are for customers to purchase and place in their own homes.

The Icon shares several photos for viewers, plus a short video.
