Almost nobody gets that education on the business side. You learn pricing by underbidding a job, contracts when one goes bad, and taxes in April from an accountant in a hurry.The Midlands Trade Association exists to offer a better option.We hold free sessions where a specialist teaches one business topic to a room of trade professionals, then breaks the room into small groups to work through the specifics. No membership requirement, no size requirement, no geographic boundary. Show up, learn something, use it.There are already good networking groups in the Midlands. This isn't one of them. Networking gets you contacts; education gets you a business that can handle the work those contacts send. You'll meet people here, it's just a byproduct, not the reason to come.Our specialists volunteer their time. They're professionals in marketing, accounting, law, insurance, and finance who work with trade businesses and know what those owners are actually dealing with. In exchange, they get to meet the room. They don't get to sell to it.Better businesses build a better Midlands." } ] } ] ```
