In addition to hosting the screening, each center will be available for “office hours” after the event to offer consulting to businesses for more personalized advice on building or expanding their website.
This event is part of the SBDC’s ongoing Business Continuity and Survival Services funded with a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). This project provides the resources for SBDC consultants to advise small firms on business disruption and continuity planning to help them prepare for future business interruptions.
Because of the unpredictability of the weather and natural disasters, having an efficient online presence is vital to business owners so that their business can still generate sales and provide services. Regardless of storms, an online presence is becoming almost necessary to stay relevant and successful in today’s marketplace, due to the increased number of online users and shoppers.
Creating and maintaining a website takes work, which is why the Pennsylvania SBDC has partnered with Google and their ‘Get Your Business Online’ programs. This event will mark the fourth event where the SBDC and Google have collaborated in Pennsylvania to help get small businesses online.
Small business owners can visit Google’s Get Your Business Online Week website to register and learn more about upcoming events and information on creating a free website.
