Exposition to mark Leyte Business Month celebration

TACLOBAN CITY, Oct. 11 (PNA) -- The Leyte Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) will conduct a business exposition as part of Leyte Business Month celebration this October.

The event will be held at the Leyte Academic Center in Palo town on October 18 to 19.

It will focus on promoting Leyte and this city as an investment hub and help small entrepreneurs grow their business.

Local government units from Leyte’s first congressional district, business owners, small and medium entrepreneurs, and national government agencies will set up their display booths to showcase investment opportunities and development plans in their respective areas, said LCCI President Wilson Uy.

The LCCI will also launch a project that will guide small businesses on proper management of their finances by teaching them basic accounting.

“This will allow them to see the path of their businesses and help them in their decision-making, especially if they see that their expenses are bigger than their profits,” Uy said.

Teaching small entrepreneurs the basic accounting will also help them learn how to balance their inventory with their stocks.

Uy added that this will also ease the burden to small entrepreneurs from hiring accountants and bookkeepers, who demand for higher pay.

October has been declared by the province as the Leyte Business Month, which coincides the Leyte Gulf Landings commemoration. (PNA)
