Description

North Carolina’s coastal economy runs on tides — not just of water, but of demand. Many local businesses thrive in summer yet struggle to sustain momentum. The Elevate Coastal Workshop, sponsored by Cape Fear Ventures and the Greater Topsail Chamber of Commerce & Tourism, equips owners with practical systems to stabilize revenue, manage cash flow, and operate confidently through uncertainty. In just a few hours, participants leave with a clear, actionable plan to build resilience and thrive year-round. This workshop is designed for local entrepreneurs, small business owners, and hospitality operators who depend on the tourism cycle but want to create stability beyond it. Whether you run a retail shop, restaurant, lodging property, or service business, you’ll gain practical tools to strengthen your foundation and grow with confidence across every season.
