MI-SBTDC hosts Evening with the Experts

Michigan Small Business and Technology Development Center (MI-SBTDC) is hosting its first West Michigan Evening with the Experts. Consultants and experts in business law, taxes, finance and marketing will present valuable information in their areas of expertise. 

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.

The event will be held on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 from 6-9 p.m. at Grand Valley State University's Loosemore Auditorium located at the downtown Pew Campus in Grand Rapids. The cost of this event is underwritten by the MI-SBTDC. Preregistration is required for this event; call (616) 331-7370 or register online at www.misbtdc.org/training.
