The LA Metro Chamber of Commerce said it will launch a program for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Called Catalyst, the program is the second offering from the chamber’s Business Lab program and is scheduled to start in early March.
The seven-week, hands-on experience will focus on “helping business owners move from simply understanding their business to managing it strategically,” the chamber said.
Led by experts in various fields, the class will offer an in-depth look at systems, financial practices and leadership skills.
“Many small business owners reach a point where growth becomes both exciting and overwhelming,” the chamber said. “Catalyst is designed to meet entrepreneurs at that moment and give them the structure, confidence and support to grow sustainably.”
