Money talks, but do you know what it’s saying about your business? At the June Aliso Viejo Chamber of Commerce (AVCC) Networking Breakfast, members gathered to gain valuable financial knowledge from a seasoned expert. Karen Boyd, a SCORE Orange County mentor with a remarkable track record in corporate finance, led a captivating discussion on financial strategies for business success.
Boyd’s presentation delved into the intricate world of company valuations, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships. With over $1 billion in completed transactions under her belt, her insights were particularly relevant for businesses seeking to maximize their value, secure funding, or plan for an exit strategy.
During the breakfast, Karen Boyd offered a wealth of knowledge on financial topics:
- Understanding Company Valuations
- Navigating Mergers and Acquisitions
- Strategic Partnerships for Growth
- Financial Planning for Small Businesses
The AVCC recognizes that financial acumen is a cornerstone of any successful business. That’s why we provide opportunities like this breakfast to connect our members with experts who can guide them toward sustainable growth. We believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing to help businesses thrive.
More Than Just a Presentation: Building Community
The AVCC Networking Breakfasts are known for their warm and welcoming atmosphere, and this event was no exception. Attendees enjoyed delicious food, networking opportunities, and the chance to connect with fellow business owners and professionals.
We were delighted to celebrate our May renewing members – Al Soley of Minuteman Press, El Pollo Loco, and Laguna Treatment Center – and to acknowledge Eric Hauber, the Membership Chair.
Supporting the Next Generation: Scholarship Award
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of a $1,500 scholarship award to Lorenzo Gan, a senior at Aliso Niguel High School. The scholarship, funded by the Aliso Viejo Community Foundation, reflects the AVCC’s commitment to investing in the future leaders of our community.
