Effective Business Management

Often times we become so accustomed to the way we have always ran our business that we may not realize how much more efficiently we could be operating. Sometimes getting an independent and objective analysis of our processes and work flow can identify glaring deficiencies that was not evident to us. This workshop will address operational efficiency, optimum workflow, effective project management, critical resource allocation and more. This workshop will force you to think of some of the things that you might not have ever thought about and develop a strategic approach to analyzing the challenges you face on a daily basis.

Presented By: Jaye Atkins – Agricultural Credit Corporation

Thursday December 5, 2019

Venture Norfolk – 4077 Highway #3 East Simcoe Ontario

4:30 pm to 5:30 pm

Very rarely do we hear of a program that offers an interest-free loan of up to $100,000 or loans of up to $1,000,000 at rates as low as bank prime, based on eligibility.

The Agricultural Credit Corporation (ACC) was established in 1992 and has been assisting farmers in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia for years. They administer two government programs on behalf of AAFC and OMAFRA.

This workshop outlines the various programs ACC administers and how local farmers may access these programs.
