MCbiz consulting program to help small business help itself

McBiz is all about “bigger businesses helping smaller businesses help each other.”

As part of that mission, MCbiz’s is launching a consulting initiative – HELPbiz – short for Harvesting Entrepreneurial Leadership and Profitability for Small Business Enterprises.

The HELPbiz program is regenerative – a cycle of help beginning with bigger businesses providing funding to MCbiz – the administrator – and smaller businesses receiving no-cost consulting services, allowing small businesses to reach their respective next levels.

An application and fee are required to receive consulting. Awardees are held accountable by the initial investment, which may be returned after respective assigned consultants verify that customized business performance plans are implemented successfully.

Selected consultants will be considered small business enterprises under MCbiz criteria (under 100 employees or less than $4million in gross annual receipts), and each consulting firm is responsible for providing a final report with the individual businesses annually reporting results for three years. Success will be measured through consultant reports and subsequent business reports.

The ultimate objective is promoting the growth of the small business community and positively affecting the core of the local economy. McBiz can be a catalyst for change, economic growth, providing a boost in the economic vitality of the region. In turn, it can harvest sustainable businesses (subcontractors for our Design and Construction primes and additional responsible businesses providing goods and services to the County and the larger community).

Because the consulting services are provided by small business enterprises, the cycle of help comes full circle. Each segment (Bigger Businesses, Smaller Businesses, & SBEs) of the HELPbiz initiative function interdependently, which strengthens the sustainability of the economy and the larger community. It is a win-win-win, and coincides with the MCbiz motto: Won by One – Initiating Opportunities, Promoting Growth.

MCbiz invites Bigger Businesses to HELPbiz in its inauguration year. Sponsorship will provide amplification of firms’ participation via MCbiz’s existing marketing stream.
