Small businesses form the heart of our communities, offer local employment, and contribute to well-being. They must thrive and grow to close the wealth gap that exists in our country. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the Indiana Small Business Development Center to create a webinar series specifically for minority business owners. Topics will include starting a business, business operations, financial health, marketing, developing banking relationships, and succeeding in the post-COVID-19 world. This series features minority business owners who share their experiences and suggestions for success through panel discussions. Whether your business is up and running or you are just ready to get started, this series will help you achieve your goals.
