Equally as important is preserving the small business community that serves the neighborhoods and its residents. We want our small businesses to succeed and in short order will be posting information for the online workshop series to help small businesses be and operate as a larger entity creating new lines of revenues and income. In the fall there will be an online workshop for credit repair. This will be a free event for those not sure of how to start offering access to resources and service to help start along the road to better credit . Once again, the organization will offer Business Succession and Estate Planning workshop. Creating opportunity and wealth means nothing if there is no structure to preserve and sustain it for the next generation.
