Running a small business has never been more complex, and this is especially true in the historically under-resourced communities where LISC works.
Our partner, Verizon, has a new program that can help: Verizon Small Business Digital Ready .
It's a free program designed to give small businesses more tools to succeed and includes personalized content, coaching, networking and more, with all the online tools in one place.
How it works:
1. Entrepreneurs answer a series of questions about the business and specific needs and interests. Based on their answers, Verizon and its partners will personalize a learning dashboard with content to match those needs.
2. Entrepreneurs have access to short online “learning modules,” created by actual small business owners that are targeted to the topics most important to their business right now.
3. Entrepreneurs also have the opportunity to participate in coaching and online networking with other small businesses. And the more you participate in the program, the more resources are unlocked, including access to apply for an exclusive pool of grants.* (
*Participants who register for Verizon Small Business Digital Ready and complete two courses or mentoring events will be eligible to apply for a $10,000 grant.)
The Verizon Small Business Digital Ready program is part of Verizon’s commitment to provide support for 1 million small businesses over the next decade. LISC shares this commitment because small businesses are the heart of our communities.
