Business Pivot Workshop

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. Email Gina Ho for late registration at chamberevents@cochawaii.org.

The State of Hawaii Business Pivot Program, funded by federal CARES funds, provides Hawai'i's small businesses and non-profits assistance to "pivot" their businesses. Eligible companies may receive up to $10,000 for expenses related to pivoting or adjusting their company to meet the new economic environment. The Chamber of Commerce Hawaii has implemented a workshop series to support our community in understanding their eligibility, the application process, and help in pivoting their businesses. 

This workshop is specifically designed to assist business owners with developing a "pivot" plan for their business. In this webinar we will share examples of successful pivots across different industries and introduce tools to help you pivot such as Creating Market Uniqueness, Growing My Business, Scaling My Business, and Developing a Recurring Revenue Model. We conclude the session with time to complete the Chamber of Commerce Pivot Expense Reimbursement Application and will be available to answer questions.
