Commerce Lexington Presents Money Smart Classes for Aspiring & Existing Small Business Owners; Six-Week Program Begins on October 6th

​Many people have dreams of owning their own business, but often they don’t know where to start. It takes research, proper planning, financing and much more to put oneself in a position to realize the dream of owning and operating a business.  Investing the time on the front end to learn about the steps necessary can increase the odds of success when starting a small business.
 
Commerce Lexington is pleased to provide the Money Smart for Small Business program at no cost for aspiring entrepreneurs and existing small business owners. This six-week program developed jointly by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) kicks off Monday, October 6, at 5:30 p.m. in Commerce Lexington’s first floor conference space (330 E. Main Street).  Subsequent classes will continue each Monday evening at 5:30 p.m. through November 10 and will present an introduction to topics related to starting and managing a small business.  Food will also be provided during the classes. 

Money Smart classes are taught by Dale Morgan, President & CEO of Foundation47, who was recently named the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 2025 Financial Services Advocate of the Year. Some of the modules include planning for a healthy business, types of business structures, banking services, time management, and more.
 
Commerce Lexington’s Senior Vice President of Community & Minority Business Development, Tyrone Tyra, said, “We are excited to be able to continue these valuable classes at no cost to business owners and entrepreneurs across our community and region. The classes provide important information to business owners, who often know a lot about the products or services they provide but not always the ins and outs of running a business. Money Smart gives them the necessary background on a variety of topics associated with successful businesses.”
