Description

If you have been in operation two or more years, you may be itching to grow. Is there any fuel in the gas tank? How will you raise more capital, and can you show lenders or investors that you are a solid bet? We’ll review the steps on the staircase that you’ll need to climb and give you a checklist for what has to be in place. Plus, CEDF is pleased to offer access to the world’s leading source of free online education for entrepreneurs in partnership with Santa Clara University’s My Own Business Institute.  

This in-person seminar provides an introductory overview of the full online course. We’ll review what you’ll be able to learn about turning your small business into a bigger business. The online course has sessions on how to grow – by duplication, franchising, or vertical integration - and how to find the funds to support your growth. And if you are thinking about passing along your business, the topics cover selling your business and family succession too.
