Supporting entrepreneurship is a very important part of what we do at
Cowley...helping our student entrepreneurs as well as existing and aspiring
entrepreneurs in our region. Through entrepreneurship, we want to develop
a community of learning that extends far beyond the physical reaches of
our campus.
Thanks to an endowment for this position from Home National Bank and their desire to grow our economy through entrepreneurship, we provide high value "technical assistance” or one-on-one education and support free of charge to individuals sincerely interested in being more successful in their business ventures. The thing that really sets us apart is our ability to not only provide start up assistance to “get the doors open” but more importantly ongoing assistance to keep the “doors open” and keep your business growing. You know, the stuff that really makes a difference to you and your business, the stuff that sticks.
Here's a quick run down of our technical assistance with a few highlighted resources that you can leverage to reach your business goals. Do keep in mind that counseling is by appointment, free and confidential (Las Vegas rules apply) and covers a variety of business topics including:
| -Financial projection
development -Cash flow analysis -Business plan assistance -Marketing plan development -And more… |
-Analysis of product
costs and pricing -Identification of potential sources of capital and financing -Market research assistance -Review of advertising strategies |
We know that in additional to counseling, businesses often need assistance with internal training. We have made it our mission to develop progressive in-depth training that really sticks for you long after the training workshop is done.
In addition the internal resources we have developed at Cowley and constantly work to improve, we collaborate with a variety of great local resources that we encourage you to take advantage of.
