“The inspiration behind this summit comes from my personal journey as a business owner. It’s been a lonely road, navigating growth without guidance or support. I saw a need for a platform where business owners could come together to share insights, gain inspiration, and be empowered to scale their businesses. This summit aims to help entrepreneurs reflect on the past year, overcome challenges, and build sustainable business models for greater success in the coming year.”

The conveners also spoke about the theme and focus of the summit:

“This year’s theme, Building a Sustainable Business Model in a challenging economy focuses on practical strategies that empower business owners to thrive, even in challenging times. It’s about exploring proven methods and innovative approaches to create strong, adaptable business models that ensure long-term success and resilience in our ventures.”

Carol told pressmen that, “the summit is designed for business owners and entrepreneurs who are eager to scale their businesses. It’s for those ready to thrive, learn, and grow by networking and collaborating with like-minded individuals, all with the goal of taking their businesses to the next level.

“This Business summit stands out from conventional business events in many ways. It’s not just about talks; it’s about empowering business owners with actionable skills and proven strategies shared by experienced entrepreneurs who have successfully scaled their businesses.

“What truly sets this summit apart is its focus on real impact. Grants will be awarded to business owners to support their growth, and the Bank of Industry will provide exclusive insights on accessing business loans, equipping attendees with practical financial tools.

“Best of all, this transformative experience is absolutely free. The convener, Carol Arheghan is a passionate business owner with a deep desire to ensure businesses don’t just survive but thrive, leaving them far better than she found them.”
