Financing a Restaurant Venture

Starting a restaurant is a risky venture with a high rate of failure, even with Louisville on Southern Living's  recent "Top 10 Food City" list. For this reason lenders are hesitant to approve loans for restaurants.

Topics include: 

  • Franchise vs Non-Franchise

  • SBA 7(a) loan overview

HR Toolkit: Job Descriptions & Employee Handbooks (webinar)

  • Louisville Small Business Development Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

As a small business owner, you are juggling many hats. One of the most time consuming aspects of your job is ensuring your employees are productive and engaged. As a business owner, have you effectively communicated expectations to your employees? Employees want and need to know what is expected of them. This includes understanding their job responsibilities as well as the rules, norms and procedures to help them navigate the workplace. This webinar will explore the need for an employee handbook and the need for job descriptions.

Job descriptions are the key to many areas of human resources management. We will discuss the importance of the job description and how to effectively write and implement job descriptions for your small business.

Every business, small or large, should have some way to communicate policies and expectations to its employees. An Employee Handbook is a great resource. We will discuss the need for a handbook, what should and shouldn’t be included and how to effectively implement.
Disability accommodations should be requested by contacting the Louisville SBDC at sbdcinfo@uky.edu or 502-625-0123.

Business Plan Boot Camp

The number one mistake entrepreneurs make when starting a business is not having a written business plan.  Having a written set of instructions to guide you is critical, and the research behind the plan allows you to identify hurdles as well as opportunities before you launch.  Already have a business?  A business plan is key when you want to grow your business too.

A well written business plan takes time, patience, and research.  Why struggle needlessly when this course can walk you step by step through the process; whether you are contemplating a startup, growing a business or looking for financing.
