Business Training On Demand
Business Training When You Have Time: Explore Our On-Demand Trainings
Running a business doesn’t always leave much time for attending a workshop at a specific day and time. That’s why the New Growth Women’s Business Center is building a library of on-demand business trainings you can watch when it works for you.
These recorded trainings bring practical information from experienced professionals directly to small business owners and entrepreneurs. Whether you’re starting a business, protecting one you’ve already built, or simply trying to make better-informed decisions, you can learn at your own pace and come back to the information when you need it.
Here are three trainings currently available on demand:
Trademarks, Copyrights, and Patents
What’s the difference between a trademark, copyright, and patent? And when does a small business owner actually need to think about intellectual property protection?
In this training, Janae Graham, attorney and small business owner, walks through the different types of intellectual property and helps business owners better understand the registration process and important considerations when protecting a business name, brand, creative work, invention, or other intellectual property.

Cyber Safety for Business
Small businesses rely on technology for everything from email and online banking to customer information and payment processing. That also makes understanding basic cybersecurity an important part of running a business.
Our Cyber Safety training helps small business owners better understand cybersecurity risks and practical ways to protect their business, information, and online activity.
Business Startup Legal Structures
Sole proprietorship, LLC, partnership, corporation: choosing a legal structure is one of the decisions new business owners face, but it can be difficult to know what the different options actually mean.
Business Startup Legal Structures provides an introduction to common business structures and the considerations entrepreneurs should understand as they make decisions about how to set up their business.

What a Small Business Means to a Community
It can be someone’s livelihood, a family’s future, a local job, or a service a rural community depends on. Your gift helps entrepreneurs get practical knowledge and trusted guidance to make good decisions, overcome challenges, and keep moving their businesses forward. Because when a local entrepreneur succeeds, the impact reaches beyond one business. It means jobs, services, opportunities, and dollars that stay in our communities.
