Cyrine Butler is a general accountant and principal at DBL Accounting, based in Lehigh Acres. Her first name is pronounced “serene.” And, she sounds pretty unflappable. One thing Butler did to remain serene despite the challenges of running a business was to attend Entrepreneurs Law School.

That’s a daylong program that area attorneys present, and which is organized by the Small Business Development Center at FGCU. It’s not too late to register for the 13th annual Entrepreneurs Law School which is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the university. 
Butler strongly recommends that you do. “A lot of small businesses are so hung up about making income, we forget those legal things we need to know to run our business,” Butler said, adding: “And, as you know: Ignorance is no excuse when it comes to observing the law.”

We are looking forward to the 2012 Entrepreneur Law School, as we always benefit from the vast amount of legal expertise shared in the presentations and the opportunity to network with other business owners.  This event is an extraordinary value for anyone that owns a small business.
