‘Money Talks’ seminar series returns to Hilton Head with free sessions for small business owners
A free seminar series aimed at helping local entrepreneurs launch and sustain small businesses is returning to Hilton Head Island for a second year.
Organized by the Gullah Geechee Historic Neighborhoods Community Development Corporation and sponsored by TD Bank, the “Money Talks” series will feature five monthly sessions covering topics including fraud prevention, legal and tax issues, and access to funding.
The series began on Tuesday, July 22nd, and will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Hilton Head Island Recreation Center, 20 Wilborn Road. Each session will focus on a specific theme. Upcoming sessions include:
• August 19th: Lending and navigating access to capital
• September 16th: Legal and tax aspects of business ownership
• October 21st: Nontraditional lending options
• November 18th: Procurement strategies for working with the Town of Hilton Head Island
Participants may attend individual sessions or the full series. Registration is free.
“We are excited to bring back the ‘Money Talks’ seminars for a second year,” said Thomas Boxley, executive director of the Gullah Geechee CDC. “This initiative was created to provide local entrepreneurs and those looking to start a business with the tools and knowledge to grow their businesses.”
According to the CDC, last year’s seminar participants opened new business and personal bank accounts, secured two $50,000 lines of credit, and launched merchant services for processing payments.
“Based on last year’s feedback and results, it’s clear these sessions made a real impact,” Boxley said. “As we launch this new series, we look forward to exploring new topics while continuing to support local business owners on their path to financial success.”
