WE OFFER:
Mentoring
- It takes a lot more than money to make a business thrive. Starting your business with us means having up to two full years of support from one of our over 3,000 skilled volunteer mentors. Our mentoring program will connect you with a mentor who can help you meet your individual business goals.
Resources
- When you work with us to start or buy your business, you’ll have access to the resources you need to be successful. Our popular interactive Business Plan Writer has helped more than 100,000 users demystify the process of creating a business plan. We also offer materials to help you learn key business skills, such as marketing, operations and cash flow.
Financing
- It’s tough to get funding when you’re a young person without a lot of assets. That’s why we offer young entrepreneurs collateral-free loans of up to $60,000 toward launching or buying a business. Opening doors through financing is one of the ways we support young people with great ideas.
