The South Haven Area Chamber of Commerce is teaming up with the city of South Haven and Lake Michigan College to offer a new program to help aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners. Chamber Director Kathy Wagaman tells WSJM News South Haven Economic Development 2022 will include a series of workshops for those who want guidance when it comes to getting a business launched.
“We are working hard to encourage business leaders, entrepreneurs to go ahead and take that leap if they’re ready to start their own business, and this series of workshops is to help them learn what’s needed and how to go about that process in a way that’s carefully thought out and it’s just a great way to know if you’re ready to get that launched,” Wagaman said.”
Wagaman says South Haven has recently seen an uptick in new businesses, she thinks partly because of the pandemic. The new program will have three workshops with experts who can talk about navigating the early stages of business ownership. The first workshop will be March 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the South Haven campus of Lake Michigan College. Others will be at the same location April 14 and April 21. Anyone interested in attending can register by calling the South Haven Area Chamber of Commerce.
