Competitive Parity Is Not a Dream.
It Starts With the Right Knowledge, from the Right Experts.
Secure Your Future and Your Business.

This May, we celebrate National Small Business Month! While the big names dominate the news, PenWill Group is mobilizing Greater Cleveland’s true economic engine—Solopreneurs and Microbusinesses—for a critical mission: Competitive Parity.

You are the lifeblood of our local economy, yet you face an unequal playing field. Consider this, according to a recent SCORE survey, 34% of small business owners have absolutely zero retirement savings plan outside their company.  Running your business isn't enough; you must establish an entity that is designed for enduring success and that secures your personal future. It's time to bridge the wisdom gap.

‍To provide you with unparalleled guidance, we are thrilled to host a FREE LIVE WEBINAR featuring an extraordinary expert with deep, proven roots in our community.

When: 10:00 AM, Thursday, May 21, 2026

With: Jay LeVert, Founder & CPA, LeVert & Associates

With over five decades of Cleveland experience since 1970, Jay LeVert has engineered LeVert & Associates into a powerhouse of seasoned business management, consulting, and legal/paralegal expertise. Mr. LeVert’s firm offers a "Wisdom of Experience and Success" that is rare and invaluable. Mr. LeVert isn't just a CPA; he is an architect of enduring success, positioning his firm as experts in the field who understand the unique DNA of small, privately owned businesses—from formation to retirement.
‍

Mr. LeVert will provide personal guidance and actionable answers to your critical questions on six essential pillars:

• Decoding Business Formation: Which entity—LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, Nonprofit, or Nonprofit Tax-Exempt—is the true path to protecting and leveraging your unique business model and profit? 
• Mastering Retirement: Learn to pay yourself first, properly, and with purpose. Don't just save; contribute with strategy. 
• The Hidden S-Corp Advantage: Unlock the power of double tax breaks on contributions from both the owner and the business—a true competitive edge. 
• The 3-Month Fortress: Building the non-negotiable cash reserve required to weather income volatility and secure your survival. 
• Taming the Self-Employment Tax: Strategies to legally minimize your burden and keep more of what you earn. 
• From Cash to W-2: The profound impact of setting up professional W-2 payroll and why it is essential for your compliance and the long-term health and valuation of your business.

Get Certified, Get Registered, Get Business: Join Our Activation Lab!

 It Starts With the Right Knowledge, from the Right Experts. Secure Your Future and Your Business.

We know the story. You want to grow your business by securing contracts. You know that MBE, WBE, or SBE certification is an important first step. But then you look at the piles of paperwork, the confusing online portals, and the requirement for a notary, and you push it to the bottom of your to-do list.  It's time to move it to the top.

‍On June 11th, PenWill Group is hosting a hands-on Business Certification + Vendor Registration Activation Lab.

This is not a presentation about how to apply. This IS a workshop where we sit down and do the work with you. We will help you navigate the forms, organize your documents, and have an onsite notary available so you can walk out with your certification application completed.

Event Details:

Don't let paperwork stand in the way of your growth. Bring your laptop and let's get you certified.
