SUMMARY:HRIC Tech Tuesday - Business Credit and Financing for Your Company
DESCRIPTION:HRIC’s Tech Tuesdays are 1 hour long monthly virtual events discussing a variety of technology and business topics in Hampton Roads\, VA.\n\n\n\nSession 25: Business Credit and Financing for Your Company – J. Galt Finance Suite \nTuesday\, January 17\, 2023 – 12-1:00p EST \nLed by Thomas Duckwall – Regional Managing Partner – J. Galt \nWith an ever-changing economic and regulatory environment\, a small business perpetually finds itself at risk.  Whether they realize it or not\, a business owner needs to build business credit now\, not at the point when it’s actually needed.  Business owners typically seek business credit when they’ve experienced pain\, not before.  While the best time to build business credit was when the business first started\, the next best time to begin is now. \nAlthough the name suggests otherwise\, J. Galt Finance Suite (Galt) does not deal in funding\, financing\, or providing credit. Rather\, we guide the business owner through the process of building a robust business credit profile. \nThe very fact that a business has its own credit score and can build its own credit profile is a shock to most business owners.  It’s “too good to be true” when the business owner learns the score and profile is built without ever utilizing the owner’s personal credit score or personal guarantee. \nWe’ve found that more than 98% of our clients have no business credit whatsoever\, even those who have been operating for quite some time.  In fact\, business credit must be built proactively and intentionally. \nAttend this session to learn more about the credit and financing you can qualify for now.  Visit the J. Galt Finance Suite at: https://jgalt.io/. \nZoom log-in details will be emailed out to registrants in advance of the session.  \nTo learn more about HRIC and its programs\, visit our website at: HRIC Website. \nTo learn more about the benefits of membership visit: Why Join HRIC. \nJoin out LinkedIn page at: HRIC LinkedIn or Facebook at: HRIC Facebook. \nPlease share with your network to help spread the word. \nWe hope that you can join us to learn more about this very important industry direction.

SUMMARY:Building Strategic Partners for DOD & NASA SBIR/STTR Proposals
DESCRIPTION:Building strategic partners for DOD and NASA SBIR/STTR projects is important – it shows that you have identified and addressed gaps in your team and presents a credible pathway to transitioning the technology to the agency\, often through a prime contractor. But while this is extremely important\, and can often be a key differentiator for your proposal\, it is not always an easy task to locate and engage a strategic partner\, integrate them into your project plan and explain how this alliance benefits the end user. This session will provide tips on how to acquire a strategic partner\, and discuss how to allocate tasks and budget to your partners.\nFunded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration\nPresented by TechOpp Consulting\nCOST: Virginia based companies/Va.
