STARTING YOUR BUSINESS
Partner with EF to launch your business
Starting a business is an exciting time: for your new business and for you as an entrepreneur. Many people at this stage worry that they don’t know enough to start a business. You don’t need a business degree and you don’t have to be an expert at everything. We are here to help. The EF Team will work with you as you prepare to move your idea into a reality.
STARTING guidance is for a business that has been vetted and is ready for launch. If you are still in the idea phase, make sure you’ve done the prep work. Is your business idea viable? Are you prepared to own a small business? Visit “PLANNING” for more.
