蜜桃视频

Jan. 9, 2024 - Do you have an idea for a small business? The Small Business Center at 蜜桃视频 is bringing back Vision Chase, which is its own version of 鈥淪hark Tank.鈥�

This seminar series will equip future entrepreneurs with a viable business plan and prepare them to present their business ideas to a panel of leaders from the financial and business community. The panel will provide valuable feedback to each participant, but the top three business planners will receive awards.

will begin with an online seminar, 鈥淗ow to Start a Business,鈥� on Thursday, Feb. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. Subsequent Vision Chase seminars will be held each week on Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. online. The last seminar will be March 14.
 
Brittnie Rector was the Vision Chase Winner for 2022 after presenting her start-up business plan for Bean to Barrel.

Rector鈥檚 business will be in the old Richmond County Bank building, which is locate in downtown Rockingham. Bean to Barrel will be a combination of a coffee shop and wine bar. It will offer a variety of wines, coffees, craft beer, teas and light food options.

鈥淥ur goal is to provide a local spot where the community can enjoy a locally roasted cup of coffee, a simple cup of tea, a glass of wine, or a craft beer with some light food,鈥� Rector said.

Rector and husband, Josh, who is a co-owner of Bean to Barrel Inc., wanted to offer the community quality beverages while having light food options.

鈥淭here鈥檚 not a space around here that currently offers these things together, and that鈥檚 what we are looking to provide as a social gathering place. This will give you an upscale and inviting feel where you can come and sit, whether you鈥檙e by yourself or with others,鈥� Rector said.

Prior to Vision Chase, Rector wanted to open a business, but she needed help making her dream come true.

鈥淭he Small Business Center was a critical component of the original Vision Chase. The former Small Business Center director, Butch Farrah, and I had multiple sessions discussing my business plan and helping me understand some of the critical components that go along with starting a business,鈥� Rector said.

Rector had never developed a business plan before, but she heard about the resources offered at the 蜜桃视频 Small Business Center and looked into it. That鈥檚 when she learned about Vision Chase.

After winning Vision Chase, Rector received vouchers to use with business resource partners and additional start-up training through the Small Business Center. Her business also received a free first-year membership with both the Richmond and Scotland County chambers of commerce.

While there isn鈥檛 an exact date for Beans to Barrel to be open, Rector is promoting its development on her Instagram page.

鈥淛.B. Commercial Holdings is facilitating the restoration of the property. The most recent project we had was to remove a wall that was unstable and a significant risk,鈥� Rector said.

Rectors encourages other who have a business idea to participate in Vision Chase, saying it鈥檚 not just the winner who benefits from the seminar series.

鈥淭ake advantage of the resources that 蜜桃视频 has to offer. You cannot do it all by yourself. It is important to leverage people who want to be a part of your business, who want to help, and who want to support you,鈥� Rector said.
