Have a business idea? Let’s help you turn it into a business.

Registration is now open for the Regional Entrepreneurial Pipeline (REaP), a FREE entrepreneur workshop series for new and early-stage entrepreneurs in Rush, Fayette and Henry Counties.

Have a business idea, side hustle, home-based business, or small business you are ready to grow?

REaP is designed to help you take practical next steps toward starting, formalizing, or growing your business — even if you are not sure where to begin.

A More Flexible Way to Participate

You do not have to commit to every workshop.

Participants will be able to:

  • Choose the sessions that fit their needs
  • Attend in person or virtually
  • Participate at no cost
  • Connect with local and regional business experts and resources

Whether you are still working through an idea, already selling products or services informally, or have recently started a small business, REaP can help you figure out what comes next.

What You Can Learn

Workshop topics will include:

  • Business readiness and planning
  • Banking and lender expectations
  • Customers, pricing and sales
  • Marketing and social media
  • LLC registration
  • EIN setup
  • INBiz registration
  • Business banking and recordkeeping
  • Local and regional small business resources

Business Formation Lab

A key part of REaP will be the Business Formation Lab, designed to help participants better understand the steps involved in making a business official.

Eligible participants may also receive assistance with approved LLC registration costs through the program.

New Workshop Dates Coming Soon

We are currently finalizing an updated workshop schedule that will provide participants with more flexibility and additional ways to participate.
