The cost of doing business: Why it’s rising and what you can do about it

From soaring health care premiums, named a major burden by nearly half of small firms, to rising rents, energy costs and complex compliance requirements, California small businesses are feeling the squeeze of rising costs and uneven market power. Join Small Business Majority, CAMEO Network and Economic Security CA for a free webinar on the broader forces driving today’s affordability crisis and what you can do about it. We will also show you how to submit a formal complaint to the California Attorney General's Office and Department of Financial Protection & Innovation if you feel you have been on the other side of a predatory or anticompetitive practice. 

Participants will leave with:

• A clearer understanding of the economic trends shaping affordability challenges
• Insight into emerging policy efforts aimed at addressing corporate abuses and restoring fair competition
• Concrete opportunities to engage in advocacy and ensure your voices are heard where decisions are made

The webinar will be joined by Angie Chua, owner of BoboDesign Studio, who will share her experience and how to get involved in advocacy efforts as a small business owner. Additionally, one lucky winner will receive a $100 gift card to the small business of their choice! The winner will be announced in a follow-up email.
