Free Spanish Debt Management Workshop Helps Seminole County Businesses

On December 18 Seminole County business owners gathered at Seminole State College in Heathrow for Equilibrio Financiero Libre de Deudas, a no cost workshop conducted in Spanish that focused on organizing business finances, reducing debt, and building actionable financial plans. The event ran from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM at 1055 AAA Drive and was listed on the Seminole County Chamber calendar. Organizers directed interested participants to register at https://nam.dcv.ms/YFljdtCSBR and identified Priscila Ramos as the event contact.

The workshop offered practical, hands on techniques business leaders can use to improve cash flow management, prioritize liabilities, and prepare for loan conversations with banks and community lenders. For small and micro businesses operating on tight margins, the guidance targeted immediate measures that can reduce interest costs and improve balance sheet clarity. The session also emphasized planning that supports future growth by helping firms demonstrate better financial stewardship to potential creditors or investors.

Seminole County sits within a regional economy that relies on a mix of technology, aerospace related suppliers, professional services, and tourism linked to the greater Orlando area. Nationwide small business resilience matters to local tax revenues and employment, because small firms represent the overwhelming share of American companies. Strengthening debt management at the local level can reduce business closures and preserve jobs, particularly for Spanish speaking entrepreneurs who face language and informational barriers to financial services.

Policy implications are straightforward. Community run workshops like this supplement formal economic development efforts by building financial capability at the firm level, which can lower credit risk in the local banking system and expand the pipeline of credit worthy borrowers. For county economic planners and chambers of commerce the event underscores the value of targeted, language specific programming to reach diverse owner populations.

Organizers noted the session was offered at no cost to participants. Business owners seeking follow up or wanting to learn about similar future offerings can use the registration link or contact Priscila Ramos for more information.
