We Want You To Succeed!
About Us
The Entrepreneurship Council is a grass-roots education and advocacy group for entrepreneurs. It has worked in creative partnership with other organizations with overlapping interests, notably the Mixson Business Center, Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce, City of Dothan, Wallace Community College, and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Innovation at Troy University. The organization began in 2010 as the Entrepreneurship Group, one of several focus groups of the annual Economic Summit on Jobs, spearheaded by Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz. Since 2014, the Entrepreneurship Council has operated autonomously, regularly coordinating entrepreneurial education and hosting networking events in the community.

Welcome to our first seminar of the year. Most small businesses struggle with setting up and paying taxes sales tax and Payroll taxes. If not setup correctly you will risk getting fined and even worse closed down. Learn what you need to know to setup your business the right way. This month we will have Mr. Nicholas Goosby & Ms. Sierra Shirah of the Alabama Department of Revenue Sales and Tax Division in the Dothan Taxpayer Service Center come and bless us with information to help us start and grow our business the right way.
