SUMMARY:(Workshop) Financial Forecasting 101
DESCRIPTION:Stop guessing. Create a financial forecast that guides expansion\, controls cash flow\, and powers confident decision-making.\n\n\nYou are required to bring your own laptop—no devices will be provided.\n\nAs a business owner\, your biggest enemy isn’t the competition—it’s uncertainty. Running a business without a financial forecast is like driving a car at night without headlights; you can see the dashboard\, but you have no idea what’s coming around the bend. \n \nThis workshop is designed for the non-finance founder. We skip the jargon and focus on the one thing that keeps you up at night. \n \nBy the end of this session\, you won’t just have a spreadsheet—you’ll have a decision-making engine. You’ll leave knowing exactly when you can afford to expand\, when you need to cut back\, and how to tell your bank exactly where your business is headed.

Join the Construction Support series to learn practical tools you can use immediately to prepare your business and customers while supporting infrastructure development and revitalization in our City. \nHow do you keep customers coming back when access is confusing? \nSee if this feels familiar: \n• Customers say they didn’t know how to get to you \n• People assume you’re closed because the street looks messy \n• Social posts feel like they disappear into the void \n• You’re not sure what to say — or how often to say it \nIf that’s you\, you’re not alone. Customers want to support you\, they just need clarity and reassurance. \nPower of Staying Connected\, this virtual\, interactive webinar\, shows you how to keep customers informed\, confident\, and coming back with clear\, consistent\, low?effort communication. You’ll learn how to craft simple updates\, choose the right channels\, and make small visibility tweaks that remind people you’re still open and worth the trip. You’ll leave with ready?to?use customer messages\, a weekly communication rhythm\, and a visibility plan that fits into a busy day. \nThe Construction Support series consists of 2 workshops. You can register for the Power of Being Prepared on Tuesday\, June 9 at 1 pm \, where you will build a readiness checklist for your business. \n \nLearn more about what resources are available for your business during a construction project here: Construction Support for Small Businesses | Vaughan Economic Development. \n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nRamona Gallagher is a leader in small business development\, with over 25 years of experience helping entrepreneurs navigate startup\, growth\, and expansion.
