Area business owners and those interested in starting a business are invited to participate in a free business forum on Friday, August 7 at the Russellville campus of Arkansas Tech University.
The forum will run from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. and is hosted by the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center. The free event is co-sponsored by Arvest Bank; Beall Barclay & Company; and Wilson & Haubert, PLLC.
The forum is entitled, “Small Business Forum: Ask the Experts” and will feature five professionals sharing topics concerning small business ownership, management and best practices. Participants will have the opportunity to get answers relevant to their own businesses from the experts. An attorney, a certified public accountant, a marketing specialist, a business consultant and a lender will also be on hand to share business information and engage in discussions on owning and operating a business.
