1. Welcome to BizConnect Centre LOGAN presentation.
An initiative of:
Logan Office of Economic Development and:
Logan City Council

2. Introduction
Starting your own business is a major financial investment decision and:
also an equally major- life changing decision.
Most new business owners enter into their business with very limited information mainly because they don’t understand enough to ask the right questions.

3. Introduction
Starting your own business in a new country where you don’t really understand the business rules, customs and language is an even bigger challenge.
Gathering and understanding information is equally challenging.
Finding a trusted source of support possibly the most challenging.

4. Introduction
One of the biggest problems that I see with most start-ups is that they:
DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW about getting into business.
