Put the Right Foot of Your Business on the Right Path

COVID-19 introduced a multitude of issues for small businesses, many of which have never been dealt with before. Where does one even begin?

You’re invited to attend this forum event with the local leaders of each government agency – SBA, SBDC and SCORE.

Keep in mind that not every small business is positioned for success. Plan to attend this forum event to learn where you can get a second opinion – at no charge. Examples – suppose you are planning:

• To start BIG (e.g. investing all your savings) your own business,
• A costly “next-move” that may help to grow your business,
• To inject more of your personal money into your loss-making business or
• The rebuilding of your business affected by COVID-19.

Don’t forget, only about two-thirds of businesses with employees survive at least two years, and about half survive five years. So you may be in for a real challenge when your business is still in its first five years, or deciding to take the plunge for something bigger. Therefore, putting the right foot of your business on the right path is crucial to set the foundation for success.
