How was CORE FOUR® developed?
CORE FOUR® was developed by the staff of the Northeast Entrepreneur Fund (NEF), a non-profit SBA Women’s Business Center and SBA Microloan intermediary in northeast Minnesota. There was substantial input from prospective and existing business owners, NEF staff, bankers, attorneys, and accountants. The result is a curriculum that covers what small business owners wish they would have known prior to starting a business, and helps entrepreneurs determine if their business idea is feasible, viable, and desirable (due diligence) before they start operations.
