* STARTING A BUSINESS Build Your Management Team

                Starting a business is somewhat complicated and involves elements of risk and uncertainty.  To increase the odds of being successful, the small business owner needs access to the best information and advice that is available.
                To help guide you through your decision process, we have assembled a group of expert business professionals that will provide you with helpful tips to start a new business.
                Even when you are starting a small business you need to develop your “Outside Management Team”.  The services of an attorney, an accountant, an insurance specialist and a banker are essential.  Each of these people can supplement the knowledge of a small businessperson. Our speakers will be able to provide the audience with key insights and tips on what it takes to run a small business.
Topics that will be included in this session are:
                                •  Start-up issues
                                •  Pitfalls
                                •  Legal considerations
                                •  Accounting tips
                                •  Financing
                                •  Insurance
                If you are thinking about starting a business, or have recently started one, this is the session that you should attend.   You will have the opportunity to ask these experts questions about your proposed business venture.
