E-Seed™ 

The E-Seed™, an entrepreneurship training series, assists start up, early-stage entrepreneurs and experienced small business owners in developing management and planning tools for their ventures. Participants develop a business plan through completion of weekly worksheets and exercises. Experts from the small business community provide insight into legal, management, accounting, financing and marketing issues. Both start-up and growing businesses and entrepreneurial firms benefit from the hands-on, interactive sessions that provide practical tools to prepare a useful business plan that can be applied immediately in the business.
