One on One Business Assistance
Cē Business Solutions promotes business development by providing an opportunity for low-income individuals, women and minority entrepreneurs to gain business skills training and finding access to fund their business.
One-on-One Technical Assistance
Clients will need to evaluate their business concept. This is done with counseling that guides the entrepreneur through the business planning process. If the concept proves to be feasible, the entrepreneur will be assisted in preparing a business plan and documents to package a loan proposal or for other funding that may be available.
Training
Cē Business Solutions will assess the needs of a client and will direct him/her toward appropriate training (business skills training or business plan development training). Training is customized for each individual.
Business Plan Development Training
Through multi-day sessions, business principles are covered by the trainer and qualified guest speakers. Entrepreneurs are provided with a foundation of the skills needed to operate a business through a series of sessions covering a range of topics including bookkeeping, marketing, and finance, insurance and staffing. At the conclusion of the scheduled courses, the entrepreneur will have a completed business plan, and will be ready for additional technical assistance.
Business Skills Training
Single-session group trainings are offered to entrepreneurs covering specific topics such as marketing, finance, or personnel development. This training assists an entrepreneur who may only be interested in a specific topic, or an entrepreneur who may have a business plan in place but needs additional exposure to a particular topic.
Follow-up Assistance
There are many challenges that face business owners, especially those just starting. Cē Business Solutions will continue assistance to its participants once they are in business. Follow-up assistance will be conducted on a regular basis and be responsive to the immediate needs of the entrepreneur.
