A note from our Director...
HIRING EMPLOYEES:
Are you using $60/hour talent to do a $16/hour job? Are you performing tasks that are wwwaaaaaayyyy outside of your core competence? You may be ready to hire employees, but are unsure about the “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” of taking that step. Our Human Resources for Small Businesses seminar may be just what you are looking for. Held this Thursday, April 26, 2007 at Rust Library from 11a.m. to 1:30 p.m., this seminar will address:
· Employees vs. independent contractors · Recruitment and retention · Thresholds of growth and how they impact your business · Compliance issues · Employee records management · Benefits management
To register: call 703-430-7222, register on-line, or email us at sbdc@loudounsbdc.org.
PEER-TO-PEER GROUP COUNSELING:
Are you having trouble reaching a business goal? Do you have a specific business challenge? Are you simply overwhelmed and don’t know what to do next to grow your dream?
The Loudoun SBDC is here to help! Join our Peer-to-Peer Group Counseling session Monday, May 7, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Center. To be eligible, you must have been counseled for a minimum of 1 hour by Center staff.
Meet with a group of up to six of your peers—other SBDC small business owners who know your pain—in a friendly, supportive environment. All participants will bring a wealth of life experiences and knowledge to the table. At one point the group will concentrate exclusively on YOUR problem—at other times you will concentrate exclusively on THEIR problems. Thus, you are both a student and a teacher. The session will be limited to only twelve individuals, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to limited seating, once you register, you are expected to attend. No cancellations please.
Registration for this event is by phone only. Please call us at 703-430-7222.
Other upcoming seminars include SBA Loan Programs on May 10, and Office and Retail Space: Zoning, Leasing and Design Considerations on May 24. Please check out our website for details.

Sincerely, Robin Suomi Executive Director
