As part of an ongoing educational series, the U.S. Small Business Administration is inviting Utah business owners to participate in a live web chat with Martha Ross-Rodgers, co-owner of Rodgers’ Banana Pudding Sauces of Virginia who will be talking about growing a family-owned business.

She will answer questions about how the love for a nostalgic dessert turned into a booming family-owned enterprise, the trials and triumphs of financing and promoting their product, and what they have done to build on their business success.

The web chat will be held on Thursday at 1 p.m. Participants can join the live web chat, and also post questions before the event by going online to www.sba.gov, and then clicking on the web chat event under What’s New.

Rogers, whose business was one of SBA’s video contest winners for National Small Business Week 2012, will answer questions for one hour.
