Business Validation Exchange

Join the Flint & Genesee Economic Alliance Small Business Support Hub for the Business Validation Exchange on August 6 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Blackstone’s Smokehouse. Designed for early‑stage and emerging entrepreneurs, the event provides a structured environment to refine business ideas, gain practical insight, and engage with established local business owners who have successfully built and sustained their ventures. Participants will have opportunities to discuss concepts, gather feedback, and explore real‑world approaches to business growth.
The program also includes a session led by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) focused on proper business registration and structuring, offering foundational guidance for those preparing to formalize their operations.
