Description

Most small businesses do not fail because of bad ideas. They fail due to missing structure and poor internal systems. This session equips entrepreneurs with the knowledge to avoid costly HR and financial mistakes that quietly derail growth. Attendees will learn how to classify workers, document hiring, separate business and personal finances, and allocate payroll correctly for compliance, taxes, and cash flow. A local business owner will share real-life lessons. Participants will leave with a checklist, action plan, and the clarity and confidence to grow with control.
