The evening is designed for both new business owners and existing business owners. A new business owner will hear tips for managing company financials, identifying target markets, gaining visibility and legally structuring a business. The existing business owner will listen to bankers describe the commercial loan process and will participate in a well business checkup. There will be an opportunity for open discussion with the banker.
Following the presentations, attendees will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with the experts to discuss their business. There will also be an opportunity to network with other small business owners.
