The Penn State Small Business Development Center, in partnership with MCS Bank, is pleased to host the ‘Protect Your Business: Fraud Mitigation and Credit Management’ seminar during Penn State Global Entrepreneurship Week. 

In this informative session, we will explore crucial strategies for fraud mitigation tailored specifically for small businesses. Participants will learn to identify common schemes, implement effective prevention measures, and develop a response plan in the event of a fraudulent activity. 

Additionally, we will delve into the mechanics of credit scores—what they are, how they are calculated, and their significance in the business landscape. Understanding credit scores is essential for small businesses seeking financing, negotiating favorable terms, and building trust with vendors and clients. We will discuss practical tips for maintaining a strong credit profile and the long-term benefits of good credit management. 

This event promises to be a valuable opportunity for entrepreneurs and small business owners to gain crucial insights into fraud mitigation and credit management.  

Peter Ort, SVP/Chief Operating Officer at MCS Bank in Milroy, PA will be the featured speaker. Mark your calendars for this event on November 22, 2024, and join us at MCS Bank from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm or virtually via Zoom.
