Description

Whether you are thinking about starting a business, recently launched one, or are looking to strengthen the foundation of an existing business, this workshop is designed to help you take your next step with confidence.

Join the Hispanic Business Alliance for Grow Your Business: Business 101 – Start, Build & Strengthen Your Business, presented by HBA Chair Sergio Zepeda.

This interactive workshop will walk participants through the fundamentals of starting and building a successful business, including important considerations when turning an idea into a business, establishing a strong foundation, identifying available resources, and better understanding the steps that can help position your business for long-term success.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn, ask questions, connect with other local entrepreneurs, and leave with practical information they can apply to their own business journey.

This workshop is for you if you:

  • Are thinking about starting a business but aren't sure where to begin
  • Recently started a business and want to make sure you're on the right track
  • Already own a business and want to strengthen its foundation
  • Want to learn more about local resources available to entrepreneurs and small business owners

This workshop will serve as Part 1 of a two-part Business 101 series, with a second Grow Your Business workshop coming in November that will dive deeper into topics such as marketing, accounting, finances, and growing your business.

Space is limited and registration is required. Reserve your seat and take the next step toward starting, building, or strengthening your business!
