β‘ππ©π»βπΌ Empower Your Business: Leveraging Resources for Business Startup and Small and Diverse-Owned Certification
by Carina Paton | at Minnebar 19
Starting a business can be a daunting task, but with the right resources, you can turn your entrepreneurial dreams into reality. In this presentation, I will share the story of how I launched in March 2024, and by June had not only had my business registered but also had received woman-owned certification from multiple local and national organizations.
This presentation will guide you through the essential steps to set up your business and achieve certification as a small and/or diverse owned enterprise. It will show you how to access free assistance, tap into valuable support networks, and utilize programs designed to empower entrepreneurs.
Learn from my experiences, including the obstacles I faced and the triumphs I celebrated, to gain valuable insights and inspiration for your own entrepreneurial path. Join me to explore practical strategies, insider tips, and opportunities that will empower you to build and grow your business. Let's unlock your potential and pave the way to faster business success!
