Participants work with a business coach to develop their ideas into a start-up plan. The night classes funded by the City of Cape Coral and will cover topics ranging from legal aspects to accounting; marketing to insurance. Experienced business owners serve as mentors in the class. Funding options for businesses will be discussed in the class including potential options available through Goodwill. "Going over my numbers with (my coach) was instrumental in learning how to price my service. I followed his advice and the numbers started to workout. You have the second set of eyes and those eyes have a lot of experience. It's a great resource to have," said James Brennan, of All Boat Electronics. Last year, 111 participants graduated from the program, resulting in 58 new start-up businesses.
