Ready to secure capital and take your business further?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrepreneurs across Michigan have a new resource available for growing, improving, and funding their small businesses, thanks to a new online program from Operations School and Michigan Women Forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forward Program is a six-month initiative that will support up to 20 Michigan-based business owners in scaling their operations and preparing for funding. The program will target founders who are positioned to be approved for business loans of up to $50,000 and will provide support in navigating the loan process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forward Program, which will run from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. on Mondays, will draw from OSchool\u2019s flagship \u201cGet Your Business Legit\u201d curriculum, and is designed to help entrepreneurs strengthen their business foundation and prepare to apply for funding through MWF\u2019s loan programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
