Excited to assist another round of eager entrepreneurs, Donte Hunt, MSME Officer, had this to say about the upcoming course: “When putting together the syllabus for this course, we kept in mind some of the challenges and unknowns faced by entrepreneurs on the Island when starting a business, scaling up or pivoting. At BEDC, we meet with business owners regularly, so we are keenly aware of how difficult it can be to set up and operate a business in Bermuda. Entrepreneurship 101 is a great way to get a handle on the process.”
The spokesperson said, “Entrepreneurship 101 will cover the following topics:
- Making the decision to start a business;
- Validating your product or service;

- Knowing the cost of your business;
- Funding your business; and
- Marketing, Operations, and Human Resources.
“Entrepreneurship 101 aims to help entrepreneurs enhance their business knowledge and guide them through what can seem like a daunting process. The more knowledge they have, the easier the process, and the faster they can begin business. The Entrepreneurship 101 Course will be taught at the BEDC Office, 1st Floor, Sofia House, 48 Church Street, Hamilton, every Tuesday from September 12th to October 31st from 6pm until 8:15pm.
