Irvine Chamber of Commerce Free Weekly Webinar Provides Valuable Insight on Financing for Small Businesses
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Irvine Micropreneur Program presented by the Irvine Chamber of Commerce (ICC) discusses and solves the needs of small businesses. The program hosted by Robert Coleman, President of the Pacific Venture Club, is designed to teach entrepreneurs and small business owners how to raise capital, market their products, develop new business opportunities, manage finances, plan for greater prosperity, and how to use social media to grow their business by participating in online presentations hosted by experts from many fields. The webinars are available for all to attend for free.
"We found out that small businesses in Irvine were most concerned about increasing their sales and finding alternate sources for financing, and this is what we are focusing on for our February line-up," said Christopher Lynch, VP of Business & Economic Development at the Irvine Chamber of Commerce. Host Robert Coleman adds, "Micropreneurs can often change their fortunes literally overnight by learning the one piece of information that they were missing in their business process."

This webinar will be hosted by the ICC's Christopher Lynch, and Chairman & CEO of IndyaVids Ash Kumra.

Financing and Capital for Maturing Companies - Once a company is no longer a startup, it's capital requirements change and its opportunities increase beyond investment financing.

February 24
Sell better, Sell More No Matter Who You Are - Professional business people and business owners associate themselves with the business they are in, their own characteristics, and the value they provide.
