We’re excited to pass along a new opportunity for TMC Financing borrowers: BusinessAdvising.org. They’re a nonprofit small business accelerator that empowers small businesses who create jobs for working people in economically underserved communities, by matching small business owners with volunteer advisers and mentors. These pro bono advisers come from major banks, consulting firms and Fortune 500 companies, and provide tailored assistance to grow your business.
They have a pool of hundreds of advisers, who can help you with:
• Marketing
• Finance and accounting
• Executive coaching
• Business planning
• Operations (supply chain, B2B, B2C)
• Sales, and more
Mentoring doubles your small business’ chances of success. According to the SBA, only 30 percent of companies make it to the 10-year mark–but for small business owners with a mentor, 70 percent survive: more than double the rate without mentoring. Plus, BusinessAdvising.org removes geography as a barrier. If your company is in downtown Fresno, and the best adviser for your business lives in L.A., BusinessAdvising.org can make that match happen.
As a TMC Financing borrower, your small businesses can sign up for BusinessAdvising.org for free. Over the past decade, they’ve helped thousands of small businesses grow their revenues (by 25% on average) and create tens of thousands of jobs for working people in local communities.
