"I started my business with little to no training in how to run a business.  The SAGE program provided a great overview of various aspects of running a business (finance, marketing, legal, HR, hiring, budgeting, etc.)  The program helped me validate some of what I am already doing and also to identify areas where I can improve. The best part of the program, however, was forcing me to take a hard look at my business, clarify my vision, goals, and objectives… and work ON the business rather than IN the business!"

"I joined SAGE to learn about the areas of my business that I felt weakest in: finances, risk management, and marketing. The SAGE team brings in world-class experts who are down to earth, supportive, and bring incredible value. I recommend the program to any WBE ready to step more fully into the business owner role."
