Entrepreneurship Training

Gardening in urban backyard

Whether your program needs one course or an entire curriculum like our A.C.C.E.R.S program (see below), we design customized virtual-live interactive group training or in-person training for entrepreneurs to launch or grow their businesses. 

Our one-on-one coaching uniquely caters to each individual through a holistic approach, considering their background, culture, history, and specific needs.

Coaching areas include business plan development, financial advising, loan & grant preparation, and many more growth needs for underrepresented small businesses.

A.C.C.E.R.S™ Our Signature Coaching Model

Community Support

Empowerment

Sustainability

Our signature business coaching model and technical assistance is built on helping diverse small businesses to achieve ACCERS™. Our ACCERS™ program consist of business plan development, accessing funding opportunities, financial management, legal matters, business growth strategies and creating sustainability through a high touch holistic approach.

We believe it is crucial for business coaches who work with diverse populations to have lived experience and be a representation of historically underrepresented groups (HUGS).

Therefore, our coaches not only represent the groups they serve but have deep-rooted professional DE&I experience, train from an inclusion lens, and are locally and globally skilled in providing technical assistance.

With the convenience of an in-house legal team, our licensed business attorneys provide guidance on business entity formation, contracts, and other legal matters.

Our experienced finance, bookkeeping, and accounting personnel provide relevant and practical advice on managing numbers.
