Dear Subscribers,

Last Friday I was at Wild Oats having lunch and getting some work done - I looked up and the dining room had been taken over by a bus-load of people decked out in Mississippi State clothing! Needless to say, I was confused and then realized...it's leaf peeping season! We have officially moved on from summer tourist season and are firmly in fall tourist season.

You may notice a few repeats from two weeks ago - we just want to make sure you've got them on the brain as they are coming up over the next 10 days. Take a look, grab the opportunity to learn in some of these incredible, free(!) workshops, and support where you can!

BBRC Workshop Series: How Do I Get There From Here? Resources for Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

Ask any small business owner and they'll tell you: whether you've been doing it for a short or long period of time, the struggle is very real. In this first workshop in BBRC’s new How Do I Get There From Here? Workshop Series we have experts from Coastal Enterprises Inc. (CEI) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), joining us to share the most common missteps and solutions they see when they meet with businesses. You’ll also hear from local business leader Allison Hopkins about the tools and programs she utilized through these two organizations to have success in growing her business.

All are welcome on Wednesday, October 18th from 10:00 to 11:30am at the BBRC office. The format will be presentations from our three guest speakers with lots of time dedicated to Q&A from those in the room. Pre-registration is required and is open on our website. We’ll have more details on specific topics next week, but honestly with the time devoted to Q&A you can bring forward any issue you are having and we will do our best to give you a little direction and guidance.

Wealth Management Strategies for Small Business Financing: Thursday, October 19th

TechPlace, 74 Orion St, Brunswick Landing

Free Lunch and Learn Seminar - Wealth Management Strategies for Small Business Financing! Brunswick Landing businesses are invited to TechPlace on Thursday, October 19th from Noon-1:15PM for a great Lunch & Learn Program on wealth management strategies for small business financing. Program organizer and sponsor First National Wealth Management advises the panels will be discussing ways that entrepreneurs can utilize their existing assets as collateral to obtain small business loans. The benefit? These types of strategies can reduce turnaround time on loan approval, and you can avoid selling appreciated assets that have embedded capital gains (saves you money in taxes). These assets also continue to stay invested and grow while supporting the loan at the same time. A light lunch will be provided. Space is limited to 40 people, so to ensure your spot, and to help organizers with lunch orders, please RSVP to necole.janczura@thefirst.com. TechPlace, 74 Orion St., Brunswick Landing.
