Small Business Toolkit

Small Business Multitool

The Small Business MultiTool is a highly effective and practical tool that is designed to help entrepreneurs shape their business vision and solve specific challenges early in the planning process. Most crucially, it can help clients address essential questions such as personal suitability for entrepreneurship, realistic financing options, and the viability of their business idea.

Each Community Futures office offers a tailored package of services and tools which may include:

• One-on-one support from a business expert. This professional can be chosen from whichever field the client most needs help with, be it marketing, finance, accounting, franchising, or another area.
• An interview with a lending expert. This key session will help potential entrepreneurs determine if their idea is bankable and fine-tune their financing pitch – giving it the best chance of success wherever they end up going for financing.
• Online resource for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
