There’s more to starting a business than finding funding. In this episode of Chamber Amplified from the Findlay-Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, host Doug Jenkins talks with Nicole Scott, Director of the Small Business Development Center at Rhodes State College, about the other side of entrepreneurship — everything you need to know before you open your doors.

Nicole walks through what new business owners often overlook, from zoning rules and vendor’s licenses to township restrictions and home-based business requirements. She explains why there’s no one-size-fits-all checklist for launching a business and how to find the right one for your situation.

You’ll also hear how early conversations with the SBDC, the Chamber of Commerce, and regional planning offices can save time, money, and frustration down the road — plus why having a clear business plan makes you 37% more likely to succeed.

Whether you’re still brainstorming your idea or getting ready to launch, this episode will help you make sure you’re checking the right boxes for success.
