Starting a new business is not for everyone ... but if you have a good idea and want to explore expanding it into a business, Berkshire Enterprises' Seminars in Entrepreneurship might be just what you need to get started. Since 1989 Berkshire Enterprises has helped over 1100 people move their dreams from the idea stage to a business plan and has assisted over 850 businesses. Approximately 85% of these businesses are in operation today.

In order to serve those not eligible or unable to participate in one of our publicly funded programs, Berkshire Enterprises, working with Berkshire Horseback Adventures, has initiated a series of seminars designed to assist the growing number of individuals in business or planning to open a business. The eight week program covers all of the basic concepts necessary to write a business plan. Participants meet evenings in order to accommodate those who are employed.

Our programs are intensive, hands-on and practical, designed to teach participants how to develop their business ideas into a formal business plan and how to operate a successful business.

Seminar tuition is $350 and includes course materials plus two hours of one-to-one business consulting (by appointment).
