2. Vetting

Once qualification requirements met, you will get prompted to complete our simple service request application online.

Our vetting process is the same for all clients  whether they seek a general business advice, counseling or a comprehensive business mentoring.

This step is very important to assure that we are only serving our target clients

3. On-boarding

Once you get approved for our services, we will add you to our CRM.

As part of the on-boarding process, you will get assigned a personalized custom sign-in portal. This is how we share, documents, resources, appointments, sessions, projects and more.

When it comes to data, we maintain a high level of security, safety, and confidentiality

4. Assessment

Upon the completion of sign-up, we schedule a session with you to understand your business start-up or existing business objectives, vision, strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, and more.

The goal is for us to understand your business needs-assessment.

The assessment or audit helps us understand and create a priority based mentoring roadmap.

5. Mentoring

Upon creating a custom mentoring roadmap, we take you through a combination of in-person and remote business mentoring sessions.

A business plan is like the SMEAC with a different learning curve. It's how you create a winning blueprint to start or grow a business.

All mentoring/counseling activities and progress will be tracked and recorded.

Collaboration is often the strength behind successes.  Our resource partners range from specialized government agencies and non-profits to lending institutions and private or corporate sectors.

As part of the mentoring process, you may get referred to one or more of our resource partners for additional expert advice or consultation at no cost.

We will continue to remain your primary mentoring source as we help you lead the way.

7. Economic Impact

What is the economic impact?
It's the effect of an event on the economy.

Creating businesses creates opportunities that contribute to the local economy with revenue growth and jobs creation - generating economic impact.

We continue to expand our resource partnerships and create success stories collaboratively.

Every business that creates economic impact, is a business success story.
