​The SBDC will mark the launch of this partnership by presenting two business startup workshops in downtown Selinsgrove on April 7th. Aspiring business owners will find answers to questions such as: "how do I turn my good idea into a successful business?", "what kind of forms and licenses do I need?", and "where can I find financing?". Attendees will also learn about resources for downtown businesses from Selinsgrove Projects, Inc. and will learn what a lender looks for from program sponsor Northumberland National Bank.
