Peer Advisory Groups Now Forming!
The CV SBDC new peer advisory program, Business Advantage
Circles, is now accepting applications for membership
Unlike a networking group, this new program provides a
confidential, non-competitive forum for problem solving, sharing
best practices, and, ultimately, contributing to the success of
members’ businesses. Each
circle, which is comprised of up to 8 business owners,
prioritizes issues for the group to address and develops
solutions that can be utilized.
A facilitator assists the Circle and brings in experts as
needed.
Circles help take the isolation of out of ownership; fill
in weaknesses and share strengths; and help the owner manage the
business.
Circles meet monthly for 2 hours.
The fee is $90/month and discounts are available to area
Chamber of Commerce members and other designated organizations.
Contact
us today at sbdc@cstone.net or 434-295-8198 for more information and an application.
