2015 CHAMBER BUSINESS WORKSHOPS

"Selling and Succession Planning" will be the subject of a small business workshop to be hosted the Genesee County Chamber of Commerce on May 13.

Do you know what your retirement looks like?  If it's "my business is my retirement" then you need a plan. Attract and retain key employees, provide peace of mind, maximize your retirement and prevent unnecessary losses.  This program will feature a presentation and time for questions and answers to your succession and exit planning strategy questions.

This is the fourth in a series of business workshops for 2015 held in conjunction with the United States Small Business Administration and the Genesee County Chamber of Commerce.  The workshops are open to all Chamber and non-Chamber businesses and their employees and will offer expert advice from experienced business professionals designed to help small businesses succeed and grow.
