SMALL BUSINESS CORNER

The Industrial & Small Business Association (SLISBA) is forging ahead to ensure that its members and businesspersons in general are informed and educated to meet the challenges that confront them. Information will be vital as they grapple to maintain the viability of their businesses. Many times they are unaware that help is on its way. SLISBA will host on Wednesday, 13th February, 2008 its first Executive Business Luncheon Meeting which will be held in the dining room of the Village Inn & Spa at 12.30pm. This is an opportunity for businesspersons to learn about the challenges of providing affordable ocean freight and break bulk cargo. The impact of the European Partnership Agreement (EPA) on businesses, especially MSMEs will also be discussed. Reserve your seat to prevent disappointment – Tel: 452-7616.
This is a time for MSMEs to stop being busy doing things in the same old way expecting different results. This is the age of networking. Networking is fueled by stepping out of your business and meeting new people. Listen to what is happening in your industry and others that are emerging. Enquire about how you can get assistance. Try to find new sources of income. The old recommendation was to diversify your business, today it is to establish Multiple Sources of Income.

SLISBA in its efforts to expand its services to the membership, appointed to its staff an IT Assistant who will be responsible for maintaining their website, research products and services on the web, and service business email accounts and websites for members. SLISBA will now provide Incubator type office services to its membership. Members can establish email accounts that will be maintained by SLISBA.
Rally behind your Association now! MSMEs have a home and that is the St. Lucia Industrial & Small Business Association (SLISBA). Join Now!
