This free event offers flexible scheduling. You choose the virtual and in-person sessions that meet your needs.

Let’s grow our business skills, together.

As many small business owners will tell you, there’s the part you’re passionate about—and then there’s all the other stuff that comes with owning a business. You know, all the financial, legal, marketing, logistical, and technological work it takes to run a business.

It also features workshops that cover topics like:

• Financing options
• Legal concerns
• Regulatory issues
• Information technology
• Small business certifications
• Identifying markets and sales opportunities
