At about $9.37 per class, Wilmington’s Small Business Success Series is a bargain.

The eight-week course helps aspiring entrepreneurs develop and write a killer business plan, complete with networking and one-on-one business plan counseling.

Beginning on March 19, selected entrepreneurs will have classes every Tuesday at Hercules Plaza at 1313 N. Market St. from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The fee for the course in $75 ($100 for non-Wilmington residents).

“This is a wonderful opportunity for current business owners — or those who wish to start their own business — to network with peers and learn some of the best practices related to business development,” said Mayor Mike Purzycki in a statement. “Small businesses are the backbone of our City’s economy — I am pleased that Wilmington is able to again offer this valuable program and I encourage those who have either developed or undeveloped business goals to attend.”

Applications are now open for the series, with interviews running through March 13. Spots are limited; apply here.
