Deloitte Impact Day 2009


Deloitte LLP has agreed to provide free, individualized technical assistance and support to business owners in Philadelphia through Impact Day 2009, to be held at The Enterprise Center on Friday June 5.


Business owners interested in participating in Impact Day 2009 will have the opportunity to discuss a key challenge or opportunity with a team of 2-3 Deloitte experts for 1 ½ hours. Each Deloitte team will then provide practical, high-level recommendations about next steps. In previous years, business owners have discussed opportunities to acquire a new business, introduce a new product, and sought advice about securing financing, and more. Since each Deloitte team will only have 1 ½ hours with each business owner, they will not be able to handle extremely complex or broad challenges.


There are only a limited number of slots available, and we anticipate that applications will be competitive.
