BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (January 8, 2009) - Main Street Birmingham, Inc. and the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce African American and Hispanic Business Councils are sponsor small business workshop on January 27, 2009 from 11:30am to 1:00pm at the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce on the second floor of the Financial Center at 505 20th Street North. The workshop, titled From Wall Street to Main: Using the Slowdown to Position Your Business for Future Growth, will help small business owners and managers develop sound business plans for new and expansion projects.
“These plans will position the companies well for credit assistance in the current lending environment,” said Main Street Birmingham Executive Director David Fleming. “When the credit clog unstops, the plans will also put the companies at the head of the line for available financing.”
Speakers will include small business owner Robert Kelly, Marc Bromstad of Markstein Consulting, Herman Williams of Regions bank, and Sam Crawford, Director of Business Growth for Main Street Birmingham. Lunch will be provided. There is no cost to attend the workshop, but seating is limited. Those interested can reserve a spot by emailing their contact information to MSBInfo@mainstreetbham.org.
