National Small Business Week is May 1 – 7, and many organizations offer free trainings to help small businesses. Some free events include:

• Small Business Administration-sponsored webinars on topics such  as voluntary benefits, cloud, mobile and social technologies, and capital and business loans.
• Google-sponsored workshops to help small businesses grow online. These workshops are held around the country. When you sign up, you’ll see a map with workshops available in your area.
• SCORE mentoring and advice to small businesses. SCORE offers free business mentoring and other small business assistance year-round. Contact SCORE to make an appointment. The South Sound-Tacoma SCORE office is located in Bates Technical College.

Best wishes for your continued success!
