SUMMARY:How's Your Health? Performing a Financial Wellness Check-up on Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Starting a business or expanding your business is exciting\, exhilarating\, and a source of tremendous satisfaction. We love that! However\, before you sign that lease for that brick and mortar location or commit a significant amount of capital to upfitting and leasehold improvements\, ask yourself one big question: \nHave I done ALL my due diligence? Lack of due diligence is one of\, if not the largest reasons for investor loss and business failure. \nTo avoid pitfalls:\nAre you enlisting the expertise of CPA’s or Attorneys or Business Organizations?\nAre you thoroughly reviewing and understanding the clauses of your contracts?\nDo you know the zoning and license requirements where you’re doing business?\nWhat’s the current financial snapshot of your business or personal standing? \nThere’s lots to consider in order to realize your dream and MBA would like to point you in the right direction. \nJoin us Jan. 24th learn more on how to perform a wellness check up on your business. \nPresenters: Rebecca Haydock and Ariel Bredder with Central Virginia Small Business Development Center and Sarad Davenport with Davenport Strategic Innovation & Design \nRegister\nPresented by the Chamber Minority Business Alliance (MBA) \n
