Got tons of questions, but not sure who to ask? Do you feel like you have to do everything yourself? Let us help BAIL you out. A BAIL team is an acronym that stands for a banker, accountant, insurance agent, and a legal team. Having a BAIL team behind you will make your business work for you instead of the other way around. We are going to have a BAIL panel discussion, join us to learn about the benefits of having a BAIL Team and how to find one that works for you. This month we are also joined by a Commercial Broker to answer all your lease/purchase/lease to purchase questions.
This panel discussion will be hosted by Rachel Flores, Business Advisor with the Nevada SBDC and our panel is comprised of Sarah Morris, Attorney and CEO of Morris Law Center, MJ Huffman, CPA, CFE and Stockholder of Tompkins & Peters CPAs, P.C, and Suzette Wheeler, Commercia Broker with Signature Real Estate Group.
