Applications now accepted for Basic Business Empowerment Training

Training to be held Sept. 4 through Nov. 20

FLAGSTAFF — Applications are now being accepted for the Coconino County Community Services’ (CCCS) 12-week (36-hour) Basic Business Empowerment (BBE) training is offered for Coconino County residents 18-years of age and older.

Its purpose is to assist those who want to start, improve, and/or expand a micro-business — five or fewer employees and typically requiring less than $35,000 of start-up capital. We currently partner with the Coconino Small Business Development Center to provide primary facilitation for the training.

The next BBE training will be presented 6-9pm, Tuesday evenings, Sept. 4 through Nov. 20, at the County Health and Community Services Building (2625 N. King St., Flagstaff, AZ 86004). BBE training includes information about an Individual Development Accounts (IDA) match saving grant opportunity for income and asset eligible Coconino County residents. You are welcome to forward this information to whoever may be interested.

Please do not hesitate to contact Scott Neuman at SNeuman@coconino.az.gov if you have any questions.
