You have a talent or a great idea that you know you can pull off. You see potential to use your gifts to benefit others and bring in money at the same time. What could be better? Using your talents as a main or side source of livelihood is a win/win. We’re talking to you—small business owners and those thinking about starting their own business. We salute you for your bold ideas and for being brave enough to invest in making your dreams a reality.

At the LRRC, we meet creative and motivated entrepreneurs daily. Hairdressers, camp owners, property managers, bakers, retail store owners, web designers, consultants, etc.—individuals working for themselves and earning cash in exchange for goods or services. Based on our interactions with these individuals, we present to you a free one-night seminar titled “Start Up Smart – Taking the Right Steps to Starting and Operating a Small Business That Will Succeed.” Presentations about the gamut of topics affecting small business owners will be made by Isaac Birnhack of the LRRC, Ben Heinemann of BP Print Group, Ryan Reese of TD Bank, and Joseph Schuck of Bernath & Rosenberg P.C. These individuals are experts in their fields and have much insight to share. For any business to succeed, it must be set up properly, and we are here to raise awareness and provide practical solutions for the best ways to do that. We encourage anyone who owns a small business, or who is thinking of starting one, to attend this free seminar on Wednesday, May 29th at CHEMED Health Center from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. If you have any comments or questions, please e-mail us at [email protected].
