"New Business Owner Success" Seminar Announced
Livermore, CA, March 19, 2007 --(PR.com)-- People who have recently started a business or who are thinking of starting a business could benefit from information and discussion at an upcoming business seminar. Three industry-leading companies have come together to present some of the core information needed by small business and self-employed individuals to understand setting up their new business ventures. The seminar is sponsored and presented by Anthony McPeake of Farmers Insurance in Livermore, Denise E. Chambliss, Esq. of Garcia Law Group in Pleasanton, and Thomas W. Petty of WSI in Livermore. The seminar debuts at 9:00 a.m., April 19, 2007, in Livermore.

Mr. McPeake will discuss business insurance, including what types of insurance might be needed and how a new business can afford medical insurance. McPeake’s practice specializes in helping business owners with their business and personal insurance needs. By having knowledge in the areas of commercial liability, workers compensation, and employee benefits, McPeake addresses the unique needs of small business owners.

Ms. Chambliss will discuss the differences in various business entity forms, such as a corporation and a limited liability company. She will also survey issues regarding the decision to hire independent contractors versus employees, and offer her list of the five top reasons why businesses fail in the first two years. Chambliss says, "A person starting a business has so many areas they need to learn quickly. Rarely is the ‘Lone Ranger’ approach advisable. Successful owners have a network of resources to help them get a handle on the details."

Mr. Petty will discuss targeted marketing strategies and making advertising pay for itself. Petty has been in the Information Technology industry for 18 years, and has a broad knowledge about computers, the internet, web usability, business planning, and project management. "We as business owners ourselves understand the difficulties faced in starting a new business. We want to pass some of that knowledge along to our fellow colleagues," Petty says.
