  • SBDC Webinar: Cybersecurity and Data Privacy 101 for Small Businesses
    July 20, 2 pm
    As a current, or future, small business owner, you have a lot on your plate. You’re busy managing employees, customers, finances, and possibly even custodial services – but one area that is often overlooked by small businesses is cybersecurity and data protection. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly common in today’s digital age, with ransomware at an all-time high. Small businesses are not immune; quite the opposite, they are often the target of cyber attacks due to their perceived vulnerability due to the lack of resources that larger businesses have for cyber defenses. In this training, we will introduce you to the bare minimum basics that ALL small businesses, regardless of industry, should be incorporating into their operations to protect their business, employees, customers, and partners.
  • SBDC Webinar: Ten Steps to Starting Your Business
    July 27, 10 am
    No-cost live webinar. Let's turn the dream of owning your own business into reality. Have all your questions answered! The SBDC business advisors will present the basics of starting a new business and help answer your start-up questions. If you are considering opening a small business, you want to START SMART! Topics discussed in this workshop include: evaluating your business idea, business legal structure and name, local, state and federal resources & requirements and business start-up costs.
