Small business owners and those with an entrepreneurial spirit in Raleigh, mark your calendars for a not-to-be-missed event. On April 21, the City of Raleigh is hosting a free legal workshop aimed at equipping local businesses with vital legal knowledge. The day-long session is tailored to address everyday legal issues small businesses commonly encounter.

Scheduled activities for the event include informational sessions lined up by Smith Anderson, covering topics that are both varied and relevant to the modern small business landscape. Hosted by the City of Raleigh's Small Business Development Team, participants will also be treated to a panel luncheon, which promises to serve both insight and food meant to nourish aspiring business minds. The promise of additional resources will be present in the form of exhibitors, alongside opportunities for individualized coaching sessions that entrepreneurs can benefit from.

The event, held at the Raleigh Convention Center, offers an added bonus: a primer on business accounting, a fundamental aspect for any business' sustainability and growth. This educational component emerges from a partnership with EisnerAmper, with the clear aim of helping small business owners get a handle on the numbers that often dictate the success of their business ventures.

Doors to the event will swing open at 8:30 a.m., giving attendees an early start before the official program begins at 9:30 a.m. The sessions are set to run until 4:30 p.m., providing a full day's worth of learning and networking opportunities.
