WEBINAR Crisis Management for Small Business

As the unprecedented events in Los Angeles in 2025 have shown us, crises can happen at any time. Although there are situations that are totally beyond the control of a small business owner, being prepared with a plan of action can go a long way in mitigating the financial and reputational damage that can occur when the unimaginable happens. This webinar offers a step-by-step guide to identifying potential crises, deciding in advance what to do if and when a crisis does occur and determining how best to implement a crisis management plan. This workshop is a “must” for every business owner.
