As business owners, you probably have your hands full minding day-to-day activities. Are you taking advantage of the financial strategies and tools available to help you run your business more effectively? Please join us at The Corner for a presentation "The Entrepreneurial Equation" by Christopher Derouin of Edward Jones! The strategies you will learn to help you save time, attract and retain employees, and preserve your business for yourself and your heirs.

Great news for our small business owners! The Corner has teamed up with Pittsburgh’s Mansmann Foundation to offer a fantastic program to our small business community. Mansmann Foundation specializes in small business coaching and counseling. Their Peer to Peer Mentoring program is helping small business owners, just like yourself, grow their businesses in a more profitable way. Join us to learn how you can benefit from the Peer to Peer Mentoring program: a fun, two hour meeting held once a month where business owners can work on their business not in their business.

Most financing options require a solid business plan. Join University of Pittsburgh's Small Business Development Center, Bridgeway Capital, and The Corner to learn all you need to know about operational and production planning, conducting market research, and creating financial spreadsheets to attract funding for your business.
