About this Event
You have the idea. You don’t have to figure out everything else alone.
Own a small business or keep thinking about starting one? There’s a seat for you here.
From registrations and permits to paperwork and taxes, building a business can leave you wondering: Where do I start? Who can help? What support is actually available?
Join Amesi & Associates on December 12 in Inglewood for A Seat At the Table: Small Business Market & Workshop—bringing together Los Angeles business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives, and makers with organizations that help small businesses move forward.
You may be overlooking resources simply because you haven’t heard about them. Discover your options, ask questions, and connect with people who can help you turn your next step into action.
Turn your business idea into reality with support you may not know exists.
Government programs, community organizations, and business services can help entrepreneurs get started and grow. The challenge is knowing what’s available and where to begin.
We’re bringing participating organizations together so you can spend less time searching for answers and more time building your business.
- Get direction on registrations, permits, and approvals. Learn where to turn for help with the paperwork and requirements involved in getting your business up and running.
- Discover free resources and other business-support options. Explore available programs and services, learn who qualifies, and understand which options are free or paid.
- Get a clearer handle on business taxes. Hear from AMESI about tax preparation and consulting, and ask where to begin with records, filing questions, and your business’s obligations.
- Move from “I have an idea” to “I know my next step.” Ask participating organizations about your challenges and discover resources that can help you move forward without figuring everything out alone.
