eStart Program - a Small Business Empowerment Program
eStart is a managed comprehensive 6-month program designed for small businesses that provides
- the overall business know-how,
- the technology tools,
- the online marketing,
- the day-to-day running of your online operation during the term, and
- the training necessary to become a multi-channel business
This program would further integrate off-line and online business activities thereby maximizing return and increasing customer loyalty. Furthermore, we handle the daily running of the online business without getting involved with order fulfillment and payment acceptance, which will be the responsibility of the businessowner.
The eStart program is available for businesses with tangible product lines in many categories. However, only a limited number of business will be accepted per category who will be receiving matching funds up to $5000 towards the cost of the eStart program.
