Dear Entrepreneurs,

April is here! Do you know what this means?

As an Entrepreneur, identifying periods of the calendar to take advantage of is something we must do at the start of each year. So the first quarter is done and gone, but April brings spring showers of blessings.

It’s a great opportunity to start a new business, gain new clients, rekindle relationships with old clients, and grow your existing businesses. You can choose to create impactful resolutions for your small business starting today! 

If you’re starting a business, then this guide is your help.

This is the time of year when money gets tighter as plans are made for the holidays, the bills come in for school books and holiday expenses, (you have to be aware of all this), but with proper financial planning, you can reap the benefits of being an entrepreneur and ease the post-holiday pain with some extra savings.

Dates to target or be wary of in your business for this quarter:
