Mollis and RIEDC Offer Workshop to Help Companies Weather Tight Times

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April 15, 2008) – Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis and the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (RIEDC) are sponsoring a hands-on seminar designed to help business owners successfully manage cash flow when times are tight.

Jeffrey S. Deckman, who has started six companies and several not-for-profit organizations over the past 25 years, will lead the “Fluid Cash Flow Management” workshop. The system helps entrepreneurs work through cash flow shortages and maintain vendor relationships.

The seminar is an initiative of “We Mean Business,” which is a joint venture between the Secretary of State’s First Stop Business Information Center and Every Company Counts, an initiative of RIEDC. We Mean Business connects business owners with local, state and federal agencies as well as with non-profit organizations that impact business.

Every Company Counts will host the seminar at 315 Iron Horse Way, Suite 101, Providence, Wed., May 21, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The cost is $15. Call Every Company Counts at 278-9174 to register. Participants must bring a laptop to the workshop.

The Secretary of State’s office works with every company registered to do business in Rhode Island. The office oversees recording commercial liens, protecting corporate trademarks and providing advice to start-up businesses.

Secretary of State Mollis is committed to making it easier to vote, helping businesses grow and making government more open and accessible. For more information about the programs and services the Secretary of State offers Rhode Islanders, visit www.sec.state.ri.us.
