Events and Tours

The wrong business structure can cost you money, create legal risk, and limit your growth. The right structure protects your work, reduces risk, and sets you up to scale with confidence. This practical workshop helps you understand the key decisions that protect your business and keep you compliant from day one. Doors open at 5:30pm for networking.

Join fellow entrepreneurs for an interactive discussion about small business marketing basics: what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next. This roundtable, facilitated by a Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center staff member, is a space to share ideas, get feedback, and learn practical ways to promote your business more effectively. Whether you’re refining your brand, improving social media, or planning your next campaign, you’ll leave with new insights and inspiration. Seating is limited, please RSVP in advance.

Are you unable to secure a conventional loan because you have a startup business, limited collateral, cashflow challenges, or maybe because you have limited industry experience? Attend this workshop to learn about the different SBA-backed loan programs, and how they can help if you are having trouble securing capital to meet your small business needs.

In celebration of National Small Business Week, the Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center is hosting a special Open House Day to introduce the community to the resources and support available for entrepreneurs in Gwinnett.

Visitors will have the chance to explore the facility, meet the staff, and connect with small business owners who are part of the incubator program. If you are starting a business, growing one, or simply want to learn what support exists locally, this event is a great first step.

This tour will be lead in Spanish.
