Creating jobs in Sacramento County and building an economy that works for middle class families are my top priorities in Congress. That’s why I’ve been hosting Small Business workshops to help connect Sacramento County small business owners with federal resources they can use to grow and hire, and I’m hosting a new workshop on August 22nd to focus on assisting new businesses and entrepreneurs as they begin their new companies.

My workshop will help connect new businesses and entrepreneurs with federal resources that are available from the Small Business Administration and the U.S. Census Bureau, and will help business owners address a number of important questions when it comes to starting a new business, such as how to prepare an industry analysis and how to obtain access to capital.

Below is all the information. If you’d like to attend, please RSVP today because space is limited. You may also call my office at (916) 635 0505 to ask any questions you may have.
