EDC PARTNER SCHEDULE
SCORE: BUSINESS FORMATION UNCOVERED: NAVIGATING BUSINESS STRUCTURES
May 27 @ 10:30 am
This business formation webinar is tailored to help entrepreneurs and business owners thoroughly understand the advantages and disadvantages of each entity type (sole proprietor, LLC, S-Corp.) from legal separate entities, tax reporting structures, non-tax paying entities, liabilities, asset protection and more. In today’s competitive market, choosing the right business entity is more than just a procedural step; it’s a strategic decision that impacts every aspect of your operations and long-term success. The need for this webinar arose from observing how frequently new business owners navigate the initial setup phase without a clear understanding of the implications of their choices. Your chosen structure affects not only your liability and tax obligations but also your ability to manage everyday operational tasks effectively. Each entity type has unique requirements and benefits; understanding these can be the difference between flourishing and floundering. Additionally, they will cover essential topics such as government and state registration, agreements, permits and business insurance. Whether you’re starting a new venture or looking to improve an existing one, join SCORE to learn how to establish a strong and compliant foundation for your business.

SCORE: HOW TO NAVIGATE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
May 30 @ 10:00 am
Do you know how to react effectively when you hear something offensive, directed at you or a colleague? Unfortunately, the most likely outcome for most individuals is this: they say nothing. Either because they are afraid to say the wrong thing or don’t know what to say. Navigating difficult conversations is essential for building trust and team cohesion. The problem is that these discussions can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming, especially when emotions run high. This webinar will equip you with the tools needed to approach conflict with confidence and to facilitate meaningful dialogue that promotes understanding and resolution.

SCORE: HOW TO IMPROVE PERSONAL CREDIT TO SECURE BUSINESS FUNDING
June 2 @ 5:00 pm
In 2025, improving your personal credit is a critical step in securing business funding. Lenders view your creditworthiness as a reflection of financial responsibility. As the Founder & CEO of EXPANDEMONIUM, almost half the clients I work with have some type of personal credit issue that warrants an application denial according to current lending standards. With that said, start by (1) reviewing your credit report for errors and disputing any inaccuracies that may be lowering your score. Consistently making (2) on-time payments is essential, as payment history accounts for a significant portion of your credit score. (3) Lower your credit utilization by paying down existing debt and keeping balances below 20% (preferably 10%) of your credit limits. Avoid (4) unnecessary credit inquiries and new accounts that could temporarily drop your score. Additionally, maintain a (5) diverse credit mix, such as credit cards, installment loans, and retail accounts, to demonstrate financial stability. By taking these proactive measures, you can boost your credit profile, increase your chances of loan approval, and secure better financing options to grow your business successfully. MORE IMPORTANTLY, through the power of AI, it is easier than ever to accomplish a 700+ credit score in no time due to advanced disputing capabilities. This webinar will be power-packed with insight on exactly how the process of improving personal credit works. Best of all, you can Do-It-Yourself (DIY)!!! The days of paying a credit repair company hundreds or thousands of dollars to accomplish the same results you can achieve on your own are OVER!!! There is no time like NOW to make the changes you’ve always wanted to see on your personal credit score and report. If you truly want to unlock funding products and opportunities that most entrepreneurs dream of doing, don’t miss this webinar!
