The Front Lines

The National Home-Based Virtual Center will offer its first Internet workshop this month. Offered by the Home-Based Business Project at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, in conjunction with Wisconsin Small Business Development Centers, this experimental course is targeted at people considering opening a day-care business and offers a five-part program to anyone who can access the Internet.

The workshop consists of offline workbook exercises and live online discussions. Participants develop a feasibility plan, evaluate their business suitability and determine whether there is a market for the service. For more information, call (608) 263-7794.
