Is this course for you?

When Sharon discovered her love for making all-natural soaps she immersed herself into her craft finding the best ingredients and the most efficient ways to mix, mold and set each bar. 

What Sharon didn’t enjoy was stressing about her business finances. After all, that’s not why she started her soap business. Like so many other small businesses, Sharon’s understanding of her financial systems are the difference between the success and failure of her business. 

If Sharon’s story sounds familiar, then this course is for you. Starting a business doesn’t mean you are an expert in every part of the business. That’s where the Covation Center comes in. 

We hear from many business owners that finances are their least favorite part of their job. But it’s also one of the most important parts. Through the Covation Center’s Business Essentials: Understanding your Financials course we dive into the complexities of understanding and managing your four key financial documents.
