NYC Business Solutions

Here is what we are looking for:
General business questions to be asked on camera from small business owners which will be answered by the "YOUR BUSINESS" panel of experts during the program. This will be a great opportunity for national exposure of your small business. Questions should be well thought out and approximately 20 seconds in length.

Here are some examples of the type of questions:
• What should I look out for when negotiating a lease?
• Is there a way to keep former employees from competing against my business?
• How do I figure out what my salary should be?

Suggested subject areas for questions:
- Human Resources (questions around communicating with, managing, retaining, motivating, hiring, compensating employees)
- Personal (questions around creating balance, working with family members or friends, dealing with stress, etc.)
- Marketing (questions around creating a message, budgeting, tracking the success of marketing, etc.)
- Financing (questions around finding funding, equity & debt, etc.)
- Other Topics (technology, managing growth, legal issues, insurance, etc.)
