Now more than ever business owners need to be ready for anything. And with the right tools and training, they can be.

The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at the University of North Florida (UNF) will offer a series of business seminars called “Outperform the Economy: Strategies for a New Decade.”

The seminars will discuss topics important to any business owner and be offered in Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Orange Park.

The SBDC has assembled business leaders and experts who will discuss ways to improve performance and strategize for success. Those who attend will come away with information that could help them make more informed decisions and perform better in the marketplace.

The Jacksonville workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 11 at the UNF University Center. The cost is $50 and includes lunch, which features a keynote presentation by James Rivera, associate administrator for the U.S. SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance.
