Burlington Review

Burlington County is set to continue its Small Business Workshop Series in 2025, offering local entrepreneurs a chance to learn and network. The Burlington County Commissioners and the Burlington County Bridge Commission have announced that the series will include seminars on marketing tools, business planning, and QuickBooks.

"Small businesses are essential to Burlington County’s economy and our communities. When our local small businesses succeed, we all benefit," stated Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. She emphasized the importance of these seminars for both new and experienced business owners.

Sandra Nunes, Chair of the Burlington County Bridge Commission, highlighted the role of these workshops in economic growth. "Helping small businesses to succeed is the key to economic growth, so the Bridge Commission is excited to offer more assistance in 2025," she said.

The first workshop will be an in-person seminar on small business tax preparations scheduled for January 16 at 10 AM at the Burlington County Library. David Evans from Bowman and Company will lead this session.

February's workshops include a virtual session on marketing tools led by UCEDC staff on February 14 at 10:30 AM, followed by an in-person networking workshop at the library on February 19 at 10 AM conducted by LAEDA Business Services Center instructors.

March will feature a virtual seminar on QuickBooks on March 14 at 10:30 AM and an in-person business planning seminar on March 19 at 10 AM, both held at the library.

All sessions are free but require registration via https://www.bcbridges.org/economic-development/. In addition to these seminars, four networking events and an annual Business Resource Fair are planned for May during Small Business Month.

State Assemblywoman Carol Murphy urged participation from county business owners. "Burlington County is a fantastic place for businesses to grow and succeed," she remarked. "These programs help keep our county economy and communities strong."
