August continues to be all about small business development Columbia is all business during August 2018. Today's Chamber of Commerce speaker continues the special events this month focused on small business. Business coach Luke Ramsay speaks at the Columbia Adair County Chamber of Commerce today, Tuesday, August 14, 2018. His subjects include supporting entrepreneurs and small business development. Click on headline for complete obituary By Linda Waggener Business - commerce - economy, these are areas I've come to love, especially small business. With jobs scarce in rural areas, many who wish to stay here have to turn their skills into a business of their own in order to make a living. Columbia is enjoying a surge of small business development. Young entrepreneurs would be helped if they could have support in the process of starting and running a business. Based on life experience, I believe this is one of the most important areas of study a young person can experience. Yes, there must be reading/writing/arithmetic foundations, of course, but business should be a strong component, and it should have an emphasis on entrepreneurship by middle school. And I believe local successful business developers and local government must do all we can to support young business developers. Why? Because young people need to know early in life that their ideas are worthy and business courses may help them know how to plan, start and run their ideas to earn income. To help move these ideas forward, Ramsay will be sharing experience in the subject, specifically on three types of companies that support young business owners: 1) Coworking Spaces, shared facilities for business, a quick opportunity to those who want a low-cost place to try out business ownership. 2) Business Incubators where long-term office facilities are provided with a heavy emphasis on education, funding, and graduation of a small business into a larger separate location with, hopefully, jobs being created from the start up. 3) Accelerators, short-term programs designed to accelerate the growth of an existing company.
