Going Solo - Advice for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses

Are you new to the wonderful world of freelancing?

Have you set yourself up as a business, but don't know where to go next?

On Monday, November 30th, join us at the Centre for Social Innovation as we hear small biz advice from a panel of professionals.

You'll have the chance to get your questions answered about setting up and organizing your business, how to attract and work with clients, keeping track of your books, and tips on invoicing from Andrew Peek, Director of Better Business at FreshBooks.com.

We'll also be joined by two seasoned entrepreneurs with plenty of wisdom to share - Marie Nicola of the newly-launched Karmacake.ca, and the very talented Kristin Peres of CakeorDeath.ca. They'll be speaking about their journeys as entrepreneurs, bumps in the road, and the successes of their companies.

Even if you've been in the business a while, we'd love to have you join us for an evening of discussion and networking at Toronto's social innovation incubator. This is a great chance to meet your fellow group members and build your network. We may also have some great prizes to give away to some lucky attendees!

Meet-and-greet: 5:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Andrew Peek from FreshBooks: 6:00 p.m. - 6:45 p.m.
Refreshments: 6:45 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.
Marie Nicola of Karmacake and Kristin Peres of Cake or Death: 7:15 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Networking: 8:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Admission is $5 at the door to help offset the cost of refreshments. Hope to see you there!
