Regional Partner:
Helping sustain the success you've started.
When small business owners succeed, we all succeed
Small business is the engine that helps families thrive, communities grow and creates new suppliers for the marketplace. That’s why chambers of commerce, community revitalization programs, business accelerators and corporations are partnering with Entrepreneurs Forever. Because small business success is their success, too.
Designed to deliver results.
The number of U.S. business accelerators have dramatically increased over the last 20 years. But a strong start for their graduates isn't enough. Leaders of these 3-month to year-long accelerator programs now recognize a critical truth: the success of their participants requires a longer commitment to sustained support. Only then can fledgling small businesses realize their potential and become family sustaining and community supporting engines of progress. That's why so many accelerators are partnering with Entrepreneurs Forever.
Additionally, regional and national corporations are quickly recognizing that helping small businesses grow within their footprint aids them in a variety of ways, too. Some have discovered that it creates a healthy market for their own goods and services. While others have shown their commitment to the community by fostering a strong pipeline of diverse, minority-owned businesses to eventually become trusted suppliers.
Entrepreneurs Forever exists to help leaders just like you to achieve these goals and more.
If you're a regional government leader, small business membership organization or corporation seeking to create sustained growth for a significant number of small businesses within your footprint, then our Regional Partner program is for you.
