How to Own Your Own Business Dec. 12th Evansville Area Inventors & Entrepreneurs Club Meeting Starting your own business can raise many questions such as the following: Should I start a business during these tough economic times? How can I get financing? What are the inherent risks of a franchise, resale or start-up business model? Joan and Rick Huedepohl can help aspiring business owners answer these tough questions.
