“Business planning and formation can be confusing and very intimidating.  Rather than guessing or “winging-it,” what potential small business owners need are tools and information,” said David Rodriguez, Financial Education Advocate for Generations FCU.  “Through the boot camp workshops, participants will be able to make intelligent and informed decisions, thereby removing some of the anxiety of starting their own business.”

The Small Business Overview class will provide participants with an understanding of how to research business-relevant data, trends and consumer statistics, business types as well as formation, and where to get help along the way.

The final class, Becoming Loan Ready, will provide small business owners with information on financing that will best fit their business needs and what information they will need to have before, during and after loan submission.

“Small business owners should never have to face the countless hurdles, stress and difficulties by themselves.  So our goal is to be their financial advocate, to offer step-by-step assistance throughout the process, and to put them on the right path so that they can grow and succeed and in turn our community can grow and succeed,” concluded Rodriguez.
