By: Meridian Beverly Hills Investment and Legal Group

In today’s competitive business environment, success is not just about profitability; it’s also about making a positive impact on the community. Our program is designed specifically for business owners who already have a credit card processing system in place at their locations. By partnering with us, these businesses can access a range of services and educational support while also giving back to their communities. For every business that signs up with our program, we commit to donating up to 10% back to their location in the form of educational and support services. This initiative not only enhances business operations but also strengthens community ties through impactful contributions.

Join Our Open Class for Business Services and Education Support

1. Foundation Support for Basic Management Education

At the core of our program is a commitment to strengthening the foundational business management knowledge of current and future business owners and their teams. Through the Meridian Business, Legal, Investment Wish Foundation, we offer tailored programs across various industries that cover essential topics such as business plan development, marketing strategies, sales techniques, employment law, staff training, and foundational legal and tax considerations.

Our program places special emphasis on assisting immigrants who are new to the U.S. business landscape. We understand the barriers these entrepreneurs face, such as unfamiliarity with business laws, market characteristics, and language challenges. To address these issues, our curriculum includes essential business, marketing, and management training, alongside technical and business English courses. This comprehensive educational support system is designed to equip business owners with the tools they need to succeed in a new environment.

2. Support for Entrepreneurial Start-ups

For those looking to start their own businesses, our program offers in-depth guidance on the critical aspects of business setup. This includes navigating the complexities of licensing, choosing the appropriate business structure—whether nonprofit, commercial, corporation, LLC, or partnership—and understanding the regulatory requirements necessary to start a business.

Our entrepreneurial training also covers franchising, providing entrepreneurs with the knowledge needed to prepare essential documentation and understand the intricacies of franchisor-franchisee relationships. This support helps entrepreneurs make informed decisions, setting them on a path to success.

3. Employment Programs for Early Retirement

Our program recognizes the unique challenges faced by individuals in their early 40s to 60s who are dealing with job loss or early retirement. We offer these individuals a fresh start through our re-employment opportunities and support for new business ventures. As people live longer and the trend towards early retirement grows, our program provides guidance, educational support, and access to government funding for starting new businesses. This initiative helps early retirees reintegrate into the workforce or embark on new entrepreneurial journeys.

4. Job Seeker and Employer Education Services

We are dedicated to supporting both job seekers and employers through our comprehensive education services. Job seekers receive training in resume writing, computer skills, English proficiency, customer service, marketing, interviewing techniques, and effective workplace communication. This training equips them with the necessary skills to secure employment in today’s competitive job market.

Employers, on the other hand, benefit from our vocational training services and collaboration with government-operated programs like the Employment Development Department (EDD). We provide state-of-the-art resources and multilingual staff to aid in job searches, career planning, and personalized job placement. Additionally, we offer opportunities for on-the-job training, ensuring that both employers and employees are well-prepared for success.

5. Education Services for New Business Owners

Our Work Source Center for Business Owners offers education on a wide range of business assistance programs, focusing on key areas such as marketing, management, and finance. Business owners can also take advantage of services like pre-screening and referral of qualified job applicants, customized legal training, and access to the latest labor market information. These resources are tailored to meet the specific needs of employers, helping them navigate the complexities of running a successful business.

6. Networking Workshops for Christian and Women Business Owners

Annually, we host networking workshops specifically designed for Christian business owners and women in business. These workshops create a collaborative environment where participants can share ideas, provide feedback, and generate innovative solutions to common business challenges. Entrepreneurs, shop owners, consultants, and online business owners from all sectors are welcome, and the atmosphere is supportive and inclusive. These workshops are not only a platform for networking but also an opportunity for business owners to find inspiration and strengthen their professional connections.
