SUMMARY:SBA's Surety Bond Guarantee Program 2/14 Virtual
DESCRIPTION:SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION’S SURETY BOND GUARANTEE PROGRAM\nPlease note: registration will close at 9:00AM on Thursday\, February 13.\nFriday\, February 14\, 2025  |  10:00AM – 11:00AM  |  Virtual\nUnder the Surety Bond Guarantee Program\, the Small Business Administration (SBA) guarantees bid\, performance\, and payment surety bonds issued by certain surety companies. This webinar is a must for any small business that is in need of bid\, performance\, or payment bonds. SBA guarantees contract bonds but does not guarantee commercial bonds. Contract bonds ensure the terms of a specific contract are fulfilled. \nKey Takeaways\n• Alternative Bonding Option: The SBA’s Surety Bond Guarantee Program offers an alternative avenue for small businesses to obtain contract bonds if they don’t meet traditional bonding requirements.\n• Increased Access to Contract Bonds: The program accommodates contracts up to $9 million for non-federal contracts and up to $14 million for federal contracts\, making it easier for small businesses to access contract bonds.\n• Reduced Working Capital Requirements: The SBA’s program requires about half the working capital typically needed for contract surety bonds\, making it more accessible to small businesses with limited resources. \nThe SBA is an agency of the Federal Government established in 1953 to aid\, counsel\, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns\, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. Nationwide\, SBA delivered $56 billion to small businesses and disaster-impacted communities in Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24). \nSPEAKER\nFord Scott\, Lender Relations Specialist\, U.S. Small Business Administration – Ford is responsible for marketing and providing hands-on assistance with SBA loan guaranty programs to lenders\, economic development organizations and prospective small business borrowers\, throughout Virginia. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Sciences from Virginia Commonwealth University. \nLOCATION\nVirtual\nA Teams meeting link will be sent to registered attendees within 24 hours of webinar. \nCOST\nFree (registration required in order to receive Teams link) \nQuestions?\nContact Jamie Carrow

DESCRIPTION:YOUR BUSINESS WORTH: UNDERSTANDING THE WHY • LUNCH & LEARN\nWednesday\, February 26\, 2025  |  11:30AM – 1:00PM\nAs business owners\, your business is most likely your largest asset. Closely held businesses do not have an easily determinable value and a range of values is the norm. The value of your business is influenced by\nmany variables\, many of which you can control. Whether you keep or sell your business\, knowing and increasing your valuation is always beneficial. \nTopics include:\n• Five different valuation methods for your business/industry\n• How to “enhance” the value of your business\n• The consequences of an incorrect valuation\n• Why businesses with multiple shareholders should “fix” a value in writing\n• How valuation differs in a family transfer event versus a third party sale\n• What the IRS can do if you choose not to establish a value for tax purposes\n• Why reoccurring revenue\, long term employees\, “clean” books\, negotiated vs. bid work\, bonding capacity\, and supplier relationships are drivers of increased valuations \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nBusiness owners (current or the next generation) who want to explore planned or emergency transitions as well as proactive tax strategies \nSPEAKERS\nDonald S. Hannahs\, CFP®\, Oceanside Financial Strategies\nParker Hannahs\, Oceanside Financial Strategies \nLOCATION \nABC-VA Hampton Roads Training Facility\n530 Independence Parkway\, Suite 500\, Chesapeake\, VA 23320\n**Student parking and entrance is in the back of the building.** \nCOST\nMembers $30\nNon-members $60\nLunch is provided \nSUBSTITUTION/CANCELLATION POLICY\nSubstitutions are welcome at any time if the originally registered individual(s) can no longer attend.
