Volusia County Offers Free Legal Strategy Seminar to Support Local Entrepreneurs

Volusia County Economic Development

July 30, 2025

Starting a new small business doesn’t require tackling every legal requirement all at once. In fact, trying to take all protective steps upfront can be overwhelming and costly, potentially draining valuable time and resources. A more effective approach is to address legal needs strategically, taking key steps as they become necessary.

Volusia County’s next Acuity Business Pass seminar will help entrepreneurs understand when and how to take each legal step, so they remain compliant, protected, and financially stable as their business grows. The free, in-person seminar will take place from 9 to 10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5, at the DeLand Regional Library, 130 E. Howry Ave.

Designed for both aspiring entrepreneurs and established business owners, the session will cover key legal topics, including intellectual property, entity formation, and regulatory compliance. It will emphasize the importance of planning legal steps thoughtfully over time to protect and strengthen a business as it grows.

The seminar will be conducted by a representative from SCORE, a nonprofit organization that provides free mentoring and education to small business owners through a network of experienced volunteers. SCORE originally stood for the Service Corps of Retired Executives, though today the organization simply goes by its acronym.

The Florida Library Association recently recognized the Acuity Business Pass program as the Best Library Business Program in Florida. The award-winning series is a collaborative effort between Volusia County’s Economic Development and Library Services divisions, combining business expertise with accessible public spaces and online tools to deliver practical, high-impact support directly to the community.

Residents are encouraged to register in advance. Registration details are available at https://acuity-business-seminar-august-2025.eventbrite.com. For more information, contact Volusia County Economic Development Business Specialist Heather Edwards at hedwards@volusia.org or 386-248-8048.
