Please join me on Friday, April 7 from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for a spirited panel discussion on "Regulations, Legal Entities and Licensing for Small Business." The event will take place at the Nevada Hispanic Business Group, 4528 W. Craig Rd., Ste. 100, in North Las Vegas, and is sponsored by the Nevada Women's Business Center.

I will be addressing the advantages and disadvantages of setting up various forms of legal entities, as well as maneuvering your way through the business licensing process. Appearing with me will be Marcel Schaerer, Deputy Director of the Nevada Department of Business and Industry, who will speak about business regulations, and Laura Nowlan, owner of See Us Now Staffing, who will offer a small business owner's perspective.

This free event is ideal for small business owners and those thinking about taking the entrepreneurial plunge. It can save you time, money and headaches associated with making the wrong decision. So bring your best questions and we will provide the information you need to move forward with confidence.
