DURANGO Durango”s community center will host a conference designed to help would-be entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
The April 9 conference will be at the Sunlight Room of Durango”s Recreation Center, 2700 Main Ave.
Featuring local banker Beverly Ellis of First National Bank in Durango, the conference will enable people who want to start their own businesses to learn the technicalities, the legalities and the risks and benefits of doing so.
‘First National Bank is a sponsor,’ Ellis said. ‘Joe Keck starts off the workshop with a lot of valuable information, then I follow him with information about how to find a banker and deal with banking issues.’
Ellis spoke at the group”s last workshop a few months ago.
‘She gave advice on the state of the market and on loan availability,’ said Colorado Small Business Development Center Media Coordinator Rachel Beckelhymer.
