Orange County Business Resource Office (BRO) Hosts “Opening Doors” Boot Camp Series
Small business owners can receive help navigating County services during free four-part training program
Orange County, FL – Orange County’s Business Resource Office (BRO) is inviting local small business owners and entrepreneurs to participate in its new “Opening Doors” Boot Camp Series, a free four-part training designed to better understand County services, regulations, and resources that can impact their success.
The series, “Opening Doors: The Business Roadmap for Navigating County Services,” provides practical guidance on topics including zoning, building permits, and procurement opportunities. The workshops are intended to help business owners make informed decisions before opening or expanding a business while connecting them with Orange County subject matter experts and available County resources.
Launched earlier this year, the Business Resource Office serves as a one-stop resource for small business owners by providing technical guidance, connections with County programs and partner organizations, and support to navigate the permitting and regulatory process. The office also offers an online Business Resource Dashboard featuring business tools, market research, demographic data, mapping resources, and other information to support business growth.
Local business owners can register for the sessions here: Orange County Business Resource Office
