“Building a Strong Foundation: Contracts for Construction”, is an online event put on by Rational Unicorn Legal Services. The informational presentation is a part of “The More you Glow: Legal Seminar Series” that focuses on shedding light on small business law and the community!

Our “Contracts for Construction” event is designed as an informational legal forum for contractors and design professionals. Attorney Sunny Kakwani will discuss specific contract language and provisions you need to know. Come expecting to learn about Client Service Agreement guidelines and issues tailored for Real Property service providers (contractors, subcontractors, remodelers, interior designers, and repair businesses). We are also excited to discuss any questions you may have!

We know that starting a business is daunting. You dive in head first with a thing you are good at and likely love doing and then are slammed in the face with reality: you don’t just do all the things you love. And one of those things that must be done is contend with words like, “revenue, gross receipts, deductions, write-offs, bookkeeping, and taxes.” *Shudder*

But none of these words have to instill fear or shame. Megan Justice, Owner of Crayon Advisory, is out to change those feelings in business owners. With 20 years of experience working with small businesses, she makes accounting and taxes approachable if not a little bit fun.

During her presentation, you can expect to gain a better understanding of what you and/or your tax preparer are/should be looking at while preparing your tax return. Besides your most burning questions about taxes and accounting, bring your most recently prepared return, your 2020 Balance Sheet and Income statement, and maybe even a few colored pencils.

Angel Investment Workshop
…for Fun, Profit, and (local) Economic Growth
March 25, 2021 @ 5:30

One essential component for economic development is entrepreneurship. With economic development in mind, we are generally looking for scalable traded-sector business ventures. These types of businesses can create wealth and jobs that would not otherwise be present in the community.

These types of business ventures also require an eco-system in order to thrive: investors, entrepreneurs, employees, coaches/advisors, service providers, affordable space… The cycle usually starts with investors and entrepreneurs who are willing to make the leap together.
However, this can also be a chicken and the egg type of scenario. It is difficult to create an investment community, unless there are entrepreneurial ventures to invest in. On the other hand, it is difficult to get entrepreneurs to raise their hand, unless the potential to finance the venture exists.

To kick-off this process in eastern Oregon, Eastern Oregon Ventures (EOV), in partnership with the Oregon Technology Business Center (OTBC), will host a virtual workshop on Angel investing. The program is informational in nature, but the ultimate goal is to help raise an Angel fund to invest in early stage eastern Oregon business ventures. The State of Oregon has also expressed an interest in chipping in.

Have you ever wondered about Angel investing? Do you have skills and experience that could be useful for a budding entrepreneur? Would you like to be involved in building early stage ventures? Would you like to help boost the local economy?

Well, this is your opportunity… There is no cost to attend and no obligation to invest.
Come join with your peers and learn how to support/inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Oh, and it can be a blast as well!
