Los Angeles, CA –April 23, 2010—Latino micro-entrepreneurs eager to learn how to easily bill customers, maintain good accounting records and protect their valuable computer data attended the recent “Su Socio de Negocios” breakfast series presented by El Clasificado designed to help Spanish speaking small business owners with training and education on low-cost business solutions.
German Font, owner of Precision 3 Natural health products, stated that the topics were exactly what he needed. Mr. Font has multiple businesses and he finds it hard challenging to organize his accounting records and feel comfortable that his data and computer systems are safe. Learning about Quickbooks and backing up data with cloud computing will definitely help him improve his ability to manage his cash, send bills timely and maintain a safe back-up system to protect valuable customer and financial data. Like many Latino entrepreneurs, Mr. Font operates several companies: Precision 3, a company that sells natural health products, American Social Realty for loan modifications, Home Defenders for financial advice, and F&F Taxes. “I decided to operate under distinct entities because owning multiple businesses offers a financial freedom that is hard to come by nowadays,” exclaimed Mr. Font. “Entrepreneurship is all about taking risks, and I’m not surprised that operating multiple businesses appears to be the norm among my colleagues.”“Due to popular requests from attendees the next Su Socio De Negocios breakfast training seminar to be held on June 9 will in fact be a workshop on how to properly and legally maintain accounting records for multiple businesses,” stated Martha de la Torre, CEO of El Clasificado.The event presenters were Diego Cardenas of Compuhombre, and Miriam Aguilar of the Santa Monica Small Business Development Center.
