Start: 2026-03-25T15:00:00-05:00
Location: Hampton Inn Bulverde

Small businesses are the backbone of Bulverde, Spring Branch, and Comal County. They create jobs. They strengthen families. They shape the character of our region.
If you are thinking about starting a business, this workshop will give you clarity, structure, and a practical path forward.
Starting a business can feel overwhelming. There is noise online, endless opinions, and conflicting advice. Some people overthink and never launch. Others jump in without a plan and struggle unnecessarily. This session is designed to help you find the balance between preparation and action.
This is not a lecture. It is a working session.
You will walk through the essential steps to move from idea to execution, including:
• Identifying a real problem worth solving
• Defining your target customer clearly
• Conducting simple, effective market validation
• Drafting a practical one-page business plan
• Creating a clear one-line offer
• Understanding pricing and positioning
• Exploring funding considerations
• Navigating the legal and compliance requirements specific to Texas, Comal County, Bulverde, and Spring Branch
• Building a focused seven-day starter plan to take immediate action
We will also introduce valuable local and national resources available to support you, including:
• Small Business Administration (SBA) guidance
• SCORE mentoring and business planning support
• Local Chamber connections and networking opportunities
• Community resources that can help you avoid common startup mistakes
By the end of this workshop, you will not just have information. You will have decisions.
You will leave with:
• A clear target customer
• A defined problem statement
• A one-page business plan
• A draft offer and pricing framework
• A compliance checklist tailored to your location
• A seven-day sprint plan to gain traction immediately
Entrepreneurship requires discipline, courage, and resilience. It also requires community. The Bulverde Spring Branch Economic Development Foundation exists to support business formation, strengthen local enterprises, and build long-term economic vitality.
Whether you are launching a side venture, transitioning from employment to ownership, or refining an early-stage idea, this workshop will help you move forward with confidence.
Seats are limited to ensure a productive, interactive environment.
If you are ready to stop waiting and start building, join us and take the first step toward creating a business that strengthens both your future and our community.
