Description

*Registration has closed, but walk-ins are still welcome!

Small businesses, including multicultural- and minority-owned enterprises, are invited to meet with finance professionals from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, at Western Illinois University – Quad Cities.

The Illinois Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at WIU – Quad Cities and the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce are teaming up with local banks, credit unions and other entities to provide this opportunity to learn about the following:

  • Lending
  • Point-of-sale systems
  • Insurance coverage
  • Marketing
  • Collecting, reporting and paying sales taxes
  • Contracts, leases and waivers     

There is no cost to attend. Dinner is provided during the beginning networking portion of the event in Room 103/104 of Riverfront Hall at WIU – QC, 3300 River Drive, Moline. Participants must register at least two days in advance. Spanish translation will be available upon request.

This is the second event of a series this summer aimed at connecting multicultural businesses with business service providers and other leaders in the Quad Cities. The Chamber, SBDC and Illinois Procurement Technical Assistance Center hosted a Minority Business Certification Workshop on June 27; a networking breakfast is planned for 7:30-9 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 22, at Catalyst Kitchen inside St. John’s Lutheran Church, Rock Island.

Aligning with the Quad Cities’ Q2030 Regional Action Plan, the Chamber is working to boost awareness of multicultural- and minority-owned businesses in the community and provide them with opportunities to grow and thrive.

The Illinois SBDC and International Trade Center at WIU – QC opened in 2017 to assist small business development and growth in the Quad Cities region and northwest Illinois. The centers’ free services are offered to help entrepreneurs start, grow and sustain their businesses.

The Illinois SBDC is a unit of the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at WIU. The Illinois SBDC is funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the U.S. Small Business Administration and WIU.

El Centro de Desarrollo de Pequeñas Empresas de Illinois (SBDC) en WIU - Quad Cities y la Cámara de Comercio de Quad Cities se han asociado con bancos locales, cooperativas de crédito y otras entidades para brindar la oportunidad de aprender sobre:

• Préstamos

No hay ningún costo para asistir. El servicio de comida se ofrecerá al inicio del evento en el salón 103/104 del Riverfront Hall en WIU - QC, 3300 River Drive, Moline. Los participantes deberán registrarse con al menos dos días de anticipación en bit.ly/smallbizfairqc o 563.823.2670. Traducción al español estará disponible bajo solicitud.

Este es el segundo evento de una serie presentada este verano la cual busca conectar empresas multiculturales con proveedores de servicios comerciales y otros líderes empresariales en los Quad Cities. La Cámara, el SBDC y el Centro de Asistencia Técnica de Compras Gubernamentales de Illinois organizaron un Taller de Certificación de Negocios de Minorías el pasado 27 de junio; se planea un desayuno para crear enlaces comerciales a las 7:30 a.m. el jueves 22 de agosto en Catalyst Kitchen dentro de la Iglesia Luterana de St. John, Rock Island.

Alineando con el Plan de Acción Regional Q2030 de Quad Cities, la Cámara está trabajando para aumentar el conocimiento de las empresas multiculturales y de minorías en la comunidad y brindarles oportunidades para alcanzar sus objetivos comerciales.

El SBDC de Illinois y el Centro de Comercio Internacional en WIU - QC se abrieron en 2017 para ayudar al desarrollo y crecimiento de pequeñas empresas en la región de Quad Cities y el noroeste de Illinois. Los servicios gratuitos de ambos centros se ofrecen para asistir a empresarios a iniciar, crecer y mantener sus negocios.

El SBDC de Illinois es una unidad del Instituto de Asuntos Rurales de Illinois en WIU. El SBDC de Illinois es financiado en parte a través de un Acuerdo de Cooperación con el Departamento de Comercio y Oportunidad Económica de Illinois, la Administración de Pequeños Negocios de los Estados Unidos y WIU.
