Wednesday, November 5, 2025 | 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM

Presented by Miria Morgan, Community Education Officer, Chelsea Groton Bank

Miria Morgan is Chelsea Groton Bank's Community Education Officer and works each day to develop financial education curriculum and resources available through Chelsea University, the Bank’s Community Education program. She teaches several courses a week for individuals, families and businesses, on a wide variety of topics.

Understanding how money moves is essential for business success. In this session, you'll learn the critical differences between personal and business credit, why sometimes they can be the same thing and other times they should be distinctly separate. Discover how to establish and build strong business credit, position your business for funding, and prepare to access capital through loans, grants, and other financial tools. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, this program will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make your business financially ready.
