SBA’s free e200 Program to mentor, train Montana small businesses

The Small Business Administration is bringing the Emerging Leaders 200 Initiative (e200) and its MBA-style program to Montana small businesses. This initiative for entrepreneurs has been a catalyst for expanding opportunities to small business owners across the United States.

The free seven-month course begins in April in Helena, and includes approximately 40 hours of classroom time per participant and provides the opportunity for small business owners to work with experienced mentors, attend workshops and develop connections with their peers, city leaders and financial communities. Participants in the program will graduate with a clear 3 year strategic plan for long term growth and strategies to achieve size and scale.

The Montana District Office is currently recruiting businesses, including Native American owned businesses, to participate in the program. There are a limited number of spaces available for this exciting and proven course, so please don’t hesitate to call now.

If you’re interested and would like more information, please contact Tom White at the Montana District Office at 406.441.1078 and join us for an informational town hall meeting on Monday, March 28th from 3 – 4:00 p.m., where 2010 e200 graduate, Andrea Lesher will speak about her experience in the program.

Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to take your business to the next level.
