(WSIL) -- If you have asperations to start a very small business, under 10 people, there's an upcoming event coming up that you might want to check out. You could call it a Financial Literacy 101 course, condensed into 3 hours of extractible and applicable knowledge. It's the Make Me Bankable event, happening on Thursday, April 17 at the American Legion Post 147 in Marion. The event, held by the Illinois Economic Empowerment Center at SIU, comes at no cost and can help put you on the path of being a fiscally responsible and well versed small business owner.
The program, held from 9 a.m. until noon, cram-packs typically difficult issues like demystifying credit, debt and borrowing and enhanced bankability into a 3 hour crash course on entrepreneurship. Plus, they don't give you all of that information and just walk away; attendees will have access to a free Operation Hope Credit Counselor.
