PROGRAMS AND GROUPS
Business Toolkit Series
Built for Small Business Owners Who Wear All the Hats! The Business Toolkit Series beginning on October 6th, is a six-session program held on Tuesdays throughout the fall, designed exclusively for Aurora Chamber of Commerce members who are sole proprietors, entrepreneurs or small business owners wearing many hats and managing every aspect of their business.
Through hands-on sessions, you’ll learn how to move from busy to productive and make better decisions; show up online authentically and turn your brand into sales; host purposeful meetings and events; use AI and automation effectively while understanding cybersecurity risks; prepare for the future with exit planning and business valuation strategies; and gain confidence in your numbers by learning to read a balance sheet, understand your income statement and prepare for tax time.
