A portable panel of experts will present a free Small Business Essentials seminar at Suwanee City Hall, 330 Town Center Avenue, on Monday, August 18.

Presented by the Gwinnett Chamber’s Small Business Resources Coalition, the panel will include staff from the University of Georgia’s Small Business Development Center, SCORE Association, Gwinnett Chamber, City of Suwanee, and Gwinnett County. The seminar will begin at 2:30 p.m. in Council Chambers on the second floor of Suwanee City Hall and includes a networking opportunity that will start at 4:30.

Topics to be covered include business and marketing plans, financial and lending assistance, licensing and taxes, minority assistance, networking and growth, training and mentorship programs, and doing business with the City of Suwanee.

While the seminar is free, advanced registration is required by August 17. Register on the Events page at gwinnettchamber.org.

“We want to make sure that entrepreneurs know that they are welcome in the City of Suwanee,” says Adam Edge, Suwanee’s downtown and business development manager. “We also want to make sure that they know about the partnerships and resources that they can leverage to not only build a business but sustain it.”

The seminar is open to all business owners inside or outside the City of Suwanee, says Edge, but it’s designed especially for small business owners who have opened within the past 18 months or entrepreneurs who are thinking about opening a new business.
