SUMMARY:W-2 Employees vs. 1099 Contractors
DESCRIPTION:Hiring help is a milestone. Misclassifying that help is a bill. \nThe first time you bring somebody on\, the question comes fast: are they an employee or a contractor? The answer changes your taxes\, your payroll\, your paperwork\, and how much direction you are allowed to give the person doing the work. \nKen Penn with SBOSS breaks it down in plain terms. What actually separates a W-2 employee from a 1099 contractor\, where small business owners most often get it wrong\, and what to think through before you add anyone to your team. \nThis is an introductory session. No accounting background needed. If you are hiring soon\, already paying somebody and not sure you set it up right\, or just planning ahead\, this hour will save you a headache later. \nEvent Details\n\nDate: Thursday\, October 1\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM CDT\nFormat: Online. Zoom link sent after registration.\nCost: No fee\nRegistration deadline: October 1\, 2026 at 8:00 AM CDT\nTopics: Business Start-up / Preplanning\nPresented by: Ken Penn\, SBOSS\nContact: Patricia Jordan\n\nHosted by REACH Women’s Business Center\, an SBOSS resource partner. Registration is handled on the REACH WBC event page. \nRegister Today

SUMMARY:Scalable Steps to Success: Strengthen Your Legal\, Financial\, and Operational Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Is your business growing\, or just making more work for you? \nGrowth has a way of exposing everything you put off. The contract you never updated. The license you meant to renew. The process that only works because you are the one running it. \nSheretha Gordon\, CEO of Strategic Steps Consulting\, LLC\, leads a working session on building the foundation that lets a business scale without breaking. This is about the unglamorous parts\, and they are the parts that decide whether growth is sustainable. \nYou will learn how to recognize common legal and compliance risks\, strengthen your contracts\, policies\, licenses\, and records\, and get clear on cash flow\, profitability\, budgeting\, and financial controls. You will identify the operational bottlenecks limiting your growth and work out when to hire\, automate\, delegate\, outsource\, or simply stop doing something. \nYou will also build repeatable processes and standard operating procedures\, clarify who owns what on your team\, and leave with a practical roadmap for scaling on purpose. \nEvent Details\n\nDate: Wednesday\, October 7\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM CDT\nFormat: Online. Zoom link sent after registration.\nCost: No fee\nRegistration deadline: October 7\, 2026 at 8:00 AM CDT\nTopics: Business Plan\, Marketing / Sales\nPresented by: Sheretha Gordon\, CEO\, Strategic Steps Consulting\, LLC\nContact: Trish Jordan\n\nHosted by REACH Women’s Business Center\, an SBOSS resource partner.

SUMMARY:Virtual Office Hours: Writing Your Business Plan
DESCRIPTION:Bring the draft you have been avoiding. \nThis is not a class. There is no slide deck and no lecture. It is an hour of focused help on the business plan you are actually writing. \nCome with your draft\, your spreadsheet\, your half finished model\, or the one section you keep rewriting. Ask the specific question you have been stuck on. Get an answer and keep moving. \nWhether you are tightening financial projections\, clarifying your business model\, or trying to figure out what a lender actually wants to see\, REACH WBC Office Hours puts a real person across the table for an hour. \nBring your questions\, your ideas\, and your materials. Then let’s get to work. \nEvent Details\n\nDate: Wednesday\, October 14\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM CDT\nFormat: Online working session.
