FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEALING WITH THE EXPANSION OF YOUR SMALL BUSINESS

SUDBURY, September 11, 1997. The Certified General Accountants Association of Ontario - Sudbury Chapter invites all small business owners to attend a seminar to be held on Friday, September 19 at the Holiday Inn on Brady Street. This seminar will explore how to properly go about expanding your small business. Businesses are always changing and it is essential for business owners to understand the cycles of their business.

The facilitator of this seminar, Peggy Young, will show how the expansion of a business takes a great deal of consideration of planning. Most businesses require financial assistance and most business owners are not prepared for the consequences inherent in such an undertaking. Join us and take a new look at how your business operates and exactly what your vision for your business is. The expansion of a small business, if done right, can lead to big rewards in the future. If, however, the small business owner plunges into expansion without giving due regard to such important aspects of expansion as financing and proper planning, he or she could soon find himself or herself out of business wondering what went wrong. Don't let that happen to you! This seminar will give you the information that you need in order to make an informed decision about the future of your business.

The cost of the seminar is $60.00 including GST and begins at 1:00 p.m. The registration deadline is September 12. To register or for more information, contact Denise Pigozzo, CGA at 669-0202 or David Venn, CGA at 673-2355.
