AFFILIATE EVENTS

"I've been a member since the chapter was formed in 1990. From NAWBO I have learned how to run a better and more profitable business. The monthly programs have exposed me to ideas and solutions that I have utilized to change the way my company markets our products, manages our internal processes, and finances and trains our staff. I did not realize the extent of this experience until my husband's company was in financial trouble and I was able to provide direction and contacts to him that helped the company survive."
Rachel Owens, Succession Strategies

How to LIFT your business for success:

Four Essential Pillars for Growth

How do you set up (or fix up) your business in the right way?

Many business owners resist taking an "eyes wide open" look at the legal, insurance, financial and tax foundations of their businesses.

Without having a rock solid foundation in these areas, youre probably making expensive mistakes.
Why? Because you don't know what you don't know.

Every dollar counts these days, right?

Stop wasting money and get smart about the business of your business!

This NAWBO-OC panel of experts will share specific ways to LIFT your business foundation.

You, and your business, cannot afford to miss this event!

Walk-in, limited seating is available on a first-come, first-reserved basis at the door and is not guaranteed. Please register early.

Education Center: Small Business Legal Audit
Instructor: Darlynn Morgan, Morgan Law Group

Description: Do you have a business or a hobby? Having a solid legal foundation in your business is the difference between bumbling along, creating a business that is built on a house of cards and building a real business that does real business in the world. Many owners are losing out on tremendous opportunities for growth because they simply don't want to pay attention to these important things.

The objectives for this workshop is that you will leave with an action plan for exactly what to do to set up, fix up, or shore up your business in order to have a rock solid legal foundation as the base of your business. We will explore the ins and outs of having a separate legal entity for your business; we will look at the various agreements you have in your business: with clients, vendors, and business partners; we will take a look at Employment Issues, Protecting Your Brand and Estate Planning for business owners. We will also be discussing the other three pillars of a successful business: having the right Insurance protection, solid Financial systems, and essential Tax strategies.
