LAUNCH Business Academy
Learn | Accelerate | Upskill | Network | Create | Hone

Brought to you by the Azusa Chamber of Commerce, the LAUNCH Business Academy is a hands-on, 7-week business readiness program designed to help small business owners build strong foundations, gain clarity, and create a clear roadmap for growth.
This cohort based program focuses on the real fundamentals every business needs, from structure and money management to marketing, operations, and strategic planning. Participants will leave with practical tools, templates, and a growth plan they can actually use.

To conclude the program, participants will have the opportunity to pitch their business in front of a panel of experienced professionals. Thanks to a generous program sponsor, $750 in funding will be awarded to participants who place 1st through 3rd, based on clarity, readiness, and execution.

I’m excited to share a new benefit available to members of the Azusa Chamber of Commerce that many of you have been asking for.

For the first time, solo business owners and family-run businesses can now access group benefit rates, even if you don’t have traditional employees. This is an exclusive opportunity created specifically for our Chamber members to help you protect what you’re building while keeping costs manageable.

Here’s what’s available through this new program:

• Accident plans starting at $7.49/month
• Cancer plans starting at $11.80/month
• Hospital indemnity plans starting at $12.30/month
• Term life options with age-based rates
• Bilingual support available

This is a strong option for entrepreneurs, family businesses, and owner-operators who normally don’t qualify for group pricing but still want access to meaningful coverage and peace of mind.

We’re also hosting a free informational event where you can learn more, ask questions, and see if these plans are a fit for you.

Event Details
Wednesday, February 25
11:30 AM - 1:00PM
Your Pie
100 W Foothill Blvd, Azusa CA 91702

Minimum of 10 members is needed to activate rates, so if this sounds like something you’ve been waiting for, I encourage you to RSVP early and help spread the word.

As always, our goal is to bring practical, meaningful benefits that help your business grow and stay protected. I hope you’ll join us and explore this new opportunity.

Warmly,
Jenny Bolivar
CEO
Azusa Chamber of Commerce
