Business owners in the Mid Michigan area will have a chance to attend a workshop designed to help them achieve fiscal fitness.
The financial tools workshop, which will be held in Bay City, is being presented by the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center. It is part of a state-wide program designed to strengthen the understanding of finances and to improve the ability to access capital that businesses need to grow.
The program is sponsored by Fifth Third Bank and will be held at the Delta College Planetarium, located at 100 Center Avenue, Bay City from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on May 4. This program is specifically targeted to CEOs of small businesses that lack financial literacy in the Great Lakes Bay Region business community.
Topics to be discussed include: Identifying problems using your balance sheet and income statement; Providing ways to increase your company's cash flow; Using breakeven analysis to improve decision-making; Planning the working capital to support your growth; and how to keep your banker on your side
"Recently I attended a seminar called Fiscal Fitness that was held by our local SBTDC," says Kathie Fuce-Hobohm of SPACE, Inc. "In a word—Wow. I have been to numerous seminars that tell you what you should do to improve your business but very rarely have I attended one that actually gave you the tools and told you how to go about it. This seminar is a must for all small business owners"
The seminar will cost $25 per participant (Fifth Third clients can attend at no cost but must register) and will kick off with networking and continental breakfast at 8 a.m. The seminar is from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
