What has been the value of Explore Enterprise for you?

"For me, getting my business plan, because you have so many ideas and not really sure how to really formulate everything and get it on paper. Tanesha was there to correct you every step of the way, so the business plan stood out for me, so that you can have everything in perspective. So that you can allow a good flowing business, that when you start, you know exactly how to start so that you can manage everything well, so that’s a good part for me."

“I gained further knowledge about business and how to successfully begin a venture along with the steps it takes”

“It taught me the ins and outs of operating a business especially from the legal and financial side of things”
