It’s getting tougher and tougher for small businesses to survive in Southern California.  Most businesses suffered a decline in the past few years.  The formula of falling revenues and increased cost is not good for our economy.  Even the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council has ranked the state of California 48^th place in America for small business development for 2010.

Realizing this situation, the Asian Business Association (ABA) is offering a solution to help this segment.  ABA will develop a platform to showcase small business products and services at its Small Business Exchange set for Friday, July 29, 2011 at the Pacific Palms Hotel & Conference Center.

At this event, ABA will feature a small business pavilion and one-on-one business matchmaking.  Every component is targeted to help entrepreneurs get excited about business, expand networks, gather leads and ultimately secure a contract.  It is also a platform where companies can to do business among its peers.  Strategic partnerships can form to pursue big contracts with major corporations.
