ROCK HILL—On Tuesday, June 10, the Entrepreneur Network will continue its series of events aimed at helping small business owners and would-be entrepreneurs succeed with a panel discussion of the legal issues surrounding starting and operating a business. The event will be held at the Baxter Hood Center on the campus of York Technical College beginning at 5:45 p.m.

Participants will engage in networking activities intended to help them meet others facing similar challenges. Then they will hear from a panel of local attorneys on various issues related to small businesses: Rock Hill tax attorney and Winthrop University professor Bob Breakfield will address tax issues. Don Harper of Harper & Rogers in Rock Hill will talk about the different ways of structuring a business, as well as licenses and permits. Alston DeVenny of Folks, Khoury & DeVenny in Lancaster will address premises liability and tort liability and insurance coverage.

After the attorneys shares their top three bits of advice with the group, the panel will take questions. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared with questions related to any of these areas:
• Taxes
• Corporations, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies
• Contracts
• Licensing & Permits
• Insurance

The Entrepreneur Network was established to bring entrepreneurs together to network and support one another and engage in educational opportunities. York Technical College has hosted two other Entrepreneur Network events since November. The events are free and open to anyone starting or running a small business, as well as those considering the possibility of starting a business. The six area Chambers of Commerce and several business networking groups have been active in spreading the word about these opportunities.
