REAL Entrepreneurship

REAL Entrepreneurship covers the ‘nuts and bolts’ of starting and running a business. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn by doing things that entrepreneurs do to be successful. You and your classmates will work together to solve mysteries like projecting cash flow, negotiating leases, preparing for a business loan, how to do marketing that generates sales, and many other topics.

REAL began in 1985 and has helped thousands of North Carolinians start or improve all types of businesses… ag and food businesses; arts and crafts; retail sales; consumer services; business-to-business companies… what you do and learn in the REAL program applies to every business.
