Over the past year, we have had some great opportunities to delve into the issues of small businesses in Ohio….who owns them, how to get them started, how to grow them, and how or when to close them!
Small businesses are the “lifeblood” of our American economy. Yet, in today’s markets, small businesses are suffering. A few weeks ago, we were participating in an event with the Tri-Village Chamber Partnership. During the event, we had the opportunity to meet, Jamie Barlett, CEO and Founder of PolyPay.
Jamie began her company in California. She gives us an overview of the steps she took to decide on the industry she wanted to tackle; credit card processing!
What challenges did she find in creating a company? How did she decide to grow the business in Ohio (and other states)? And did she feel that being a female in the business world made it harder?
When she looks back on her own journey as a small business owner, she discusses issues arising due to age - too young and too old - or just inexperience playing a role?
How does networking support her in building her company?
We would love to hear from you.
