The Perry Chamber held an informational session on Thursday to discuss strategies on how to grow a business.

Chamber Director Lynsi Pasutti tells Raccoon Valley Radio that Thursday’s infosession focused on Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program in helping grow local businesses. She notes that the program featured a keynote speaker to describe the program, along with two graduates who chimed in about their experiences. Pasutti emphasizes that there are other programs to help start-up businesses, but this program is geared towards businesses that’ve been around for a couple of years.

“This one is really geared towards being in business for more than two years, having established yourself, but then really thinking about what’s the next step in how to continue to grow your business.”

Pasutti mentions that the program requires a dedicated amount of time but reveals that it’s free. She says that future info sessions are in the works, but encourages people to visit Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses website.
