The Economic Development Council of South Miami-Dade (EDC) has scheduled several small business informative sessions and workshops for June.

There will be a free event on June 15 with the Small Business Administration (SBA) and several participating banks — Total Bank, Community Bank and First National Bank of South Miami  — elaborating on financing opportunities for small business owners.

“How to Become Very Successful as a Small Business Owner in South Florida: Tips from a Local Who Has Made It,” will be the topic of discussion at the June Community Outreach meeting on Tuesday, June 21. On Saturday, June 25, the EDC will offer a half-day workshop on How to Write and Fund a Business Plan.

Other great workshops that still are in the planning stages include Small Business Financing, Power Packed Marketing, and Hiring Right. The Economic Development Council has partnered with SCORE, Small Business Counselors for the SBA, to offer these and many other workshops to benefit South Miami-Dade’s aspiring and current business owners.
