"Top 10 Tips to Make Your American Dream a Reality"

The American dream is about success, regardless of where or what class you’re born into. Entrepreneurs and immigrants can make their dream a reality, but it takes resources and understanding of the systems in place. In this workshop, the SBA Iowa District Office, will speak about some of these must-know tips to help you achieve success and get closer to realizing your dream.
"How to Save Taxes with Tax Planning"

With extensive COVID-19 relief legislation as well as changes to the presidency, it’s been challenging keeping up with changes on taxes. Tax planning can be an essential tool to help you save on businesses. This session will discuss key concepts around taxes, tax benefits and incentives that can impact your return, and strategies to reduce tax dues. Learn how you can project your tax due or return so you can run your business without that concern.

Are you seeking funds for your business to grow? Talking to a lender can feel daunting, but this session will help you by going through the process of obtaining a small business loan, what documents are good to prepare, what type of loans are there, and how to start working with a bank.
