Business academy in session

In Saturday's Bradenton Herald, the business section features an article on budding entrepreneurs who attended the Central Economic Development Corp.'s small business workshop to learn the basics of starting a business.
The free workshop concluded Thursday but new business owners might want to check out the Gulf Coast Latin Chamber of Commerce's "Business Academy."
This month, the chamber started a short series of free classes that cover key issues for business owners and startup companies.
The next class in the series is at 8 a.m. Oct. 6 and will cover the legal terms of protecting inventions, business ideas, patents, trademarks and copyrights.
The class will be held at the ComCenters at 9040 Town Center Parkway in Bradenton, and those interested must register in advance at http://www.latinchamber.org/.
