Protecting Your Business
Join weVENTURE WBC for a Strong Coffee Strong Women purposeful networking event on the Treasure Coast. The City of Port Saint Lucie is partnering with weVENTURE WBC to make our business education and coaching services more accessible to local entrepreneurs.
This event at the Port Saint Lucie Community Center includes coffee and a light breakfast. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with weVENTURE WBC Business Coaches and network with other entrepreneurs.
Tania Ryan, SVP/Regional Sales Leader Palm Beach, Martin County & Treasure Coast Florida for PNC Bank will present best practices for every small business to protect themselves from fraud.
Smaller businesses have fewer fraud controls than larger organizations and, as a result, become victims more frequently. For example, billing and payroll fraud at small businesses occur at twice as often compared with larger organizations, while check and payment tampering occurs at four times the rate. In 2022, 65% of organizations were targets of payment fraud — and those attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated. 29 percent of small businesses report an attempt to scam their accounts payable department into paying a vendor or multiple vendors for money not rightfully earned. And hacking and ransom attacks targeting small businesses have increased significantly in recent years. Banking fraud is an ever-present issue for businesses of all sizes – while scary, there are things you can do to protect your business! Join us for this informative session on how to protect your business and improve your processes to ensure you don’t become just another statistic!
Attendance is limited to 30, so don’t wait! Register today!
