Indianapolis - With unemployment on the rise, many Hoosiers are taking the risk and starting up their own businesses.

Tuesday, more than 50 exhibitors will come together, companies and non-profit resources, to help small business owners grow and market their ventures, or for people wanting to start up their own.

Successful people who already work for themselves tell us that there’s no better time than the present to get started.

During a recession, many Hoosiers can’t get hired by large companies. Many of them are looking at how to put their own dreams to work, but have been hesitant because of the current economy.

The event is Tuesday at the Indy West Conference Center on N. High School Road from 8:30a.m. to 5:30p.m. and then there’s a networking session with free food from 6p.m. – 8p.m.

It’s a great opportunity to get connected.

“A lot of people are afraid because they don’t know about social media, they don’t know about what kind of funding they can get, what kind of business they need to do to get their business started. So, this is what they can find when they come to the fair,” said Cathy Patton, Indiana Small Business Fair.

If funding is a hurdle, you can find out at the fair ways to barter goods and services to save money.

Banks will also be there to answer your questions.

There will be a series of seminars and speakers throughout the day. For a schedule click here.
