As part of its Flagler Small Business Incubator program, Flagler County Adult Education will offer a 10-week Entrepreneurial Studies course, beginning March 3, with two of the course’s graduating students offered a spot in its incubator program.

Under the director of volunteer Bob Cahill, the classes will meet three hours each Saturday for the semester’s duration, and cover the fundamentals of business finance, administration, logistics, personnel management, marketing, business ethics, succession and insurance.

Nationally, it is estimated that as few as 18% of business startups will survive past their first five years. According to Adult Education, however, participation in a small-business-incubator program increases the probability of success to 87%.

Two of the course’s graduating students will be invited to enter the Flagler Small Business Incubator, where, for a small fee, that individual will be provided a small office furnished with equipment, administrative support, a receptionist, clerical assistance and interns. Member companies also have access to business mentors and consultants.
