The Top 10 FLEX Competition businesses gathered today for a workshop on Finances for their businesses. Synovus Bank employees Dustin Vernon, Alex Brown, Ryan Quick and Moriah Dunn, along with Brent Carter (Attorney), and Julie Barnes (Accountant) led the workshop which discussed types of businesses, business protections, types of loans, profit and loss statements, credit ratings and so much more.
Students also signed their Promissory Loan paperwork to receive $100 to begin/continue operation of their business. These loans will have to be repaid to advance to the next round of competition. These loans were generously donated by:
