What can the Startup Assessment help you with?
WHERE ARE YOU?
STEP 1: Figure out what stage your small business startup is in
From registering your business name to preparing your inventory and meeting with investors; there are many, many tasks -both big and small- that must be completed in order to successfully launch. Answer a few questions to figure out what you have and haven’t done; so that we can direct you towards what steps to take next.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
STEP 2: What do you NEED to launch and succeed?
You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t need the help. The second step in the Startup Assessment will determine what actions you should take next. Whether its time to begin your business plan or to start submitting applications for funding, we’ll guide you through these tasks and provide you with the tips, tools, and resources to help you complete them.
HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED?
STEP 3: What are your funding needs?
Starting a small business isn’t easy, especially if you lack the capital to start, launch and operate. The third step of the Startup Assessment will help you to determine whether you need funding for your startup business; and just how much funding may be available within your specific industry and for your small business needs.
