Nurturing Small Businesses

Negocio Próspero (Prosperous Business) is an introductory business course that provides aspiring business owners and micro-entrepreneurs useful tools and skills to launch, or improve the management and profitability of, their businesses.

The 10-week Spanish-language class series offers basic administrative knowledge for starting a new business, or growing an existing enterprise.

Empowered Entrepreneurs is an English version of Negocio Próspero that provides immigrant-origin entrepreneurs with the skills to formalize or improve their businesses.

The classes, taught by experts in their field, focus on topics such as:

  • financial education
  • accounting, taxes
  • licensing permits
  • insurance
  • contracts
  • legal information
