Liberty Bank Academy for Small Business 

This workshop is in partnership with Score Greater Hartford and  Liberty Bank.   

Despite the current state of affairs, we will still be moving forward with the Liberty Bank Academy for Small Business, but instead of having it in-person, we will be adhering to the Socal Distancing mandate and will be holding it online via the Zoom video platform.  Yes, you get to do all ten sessions from the comfort of your home.  So, continue reading below for more details and register early.

Gain knowledge, power and profit you need to succeed with the Small Business Academy. We know that running a successful small business in Connecticut is a day-to-day challenge. That’s why Liberty Bank created a FREE series of classes to help small business owners feel confident about unleashing their earning potential. We call it the Academy for Small Business (ASB). We think you’ll call it invaluable.
