A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

"We Help You Give Wings to Your Business Dreams"

Mission
To reduce poverty by creating self-employment opportunities for under-served populations as an economic development strategy for building our community."

Vision
"To foster economic self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship."

Before you quit your job or invest your life savings, wouldn’t it be nice to know whether your business idea will work? In First Step FastTrac® you’ll write a feasibility plan that examines your business idea from every angle. This plan helps you decide if your business is a "go" or a "no go" before you spend too much time or money. First Step FastTrac® is a ten week program. It is important to be committed to the process. Become a part of this grassroots economic development movement. Create your own job. Build a business that will allow you to be your own boss never to be down-sized again! Classes begin in February, May and September. Let's change your life and Battle Creek for the better.
