Small businesses are the backbone of San Francisco?s economy and it?s a top priority of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce to provide the support and resources our business community needs to thrive. That?s why we?ve teamed up with Visa to launch Practical Business Skills for Chamber members. Practical Business Skills helps equip micro and small businesses with the financial and business knowledge to better manage their money and make confident, informed business decisions. We hope to assist business owners in growing their business and personal skills to drive resilience and growth through this free, relevant, accessible, and credible online educational resource, now available in both English and Spanish.
Join us on June 14 from 9:00 -10:00 AM for an exciting discussion with Hugh Norton, Senior Director of Financial Education from the Social Impact team at Visa, to review the small business site, so you can make the most of all it has to offer. The session will be a tour of the resource and a dive into the ?Managing a Business Section?, which includes topics such as financial management, promoting your business, managing your employees, and planning for an emergency.
