Programs Business Express

Business Express is an annual business executive coaching program, specifically created to help small and medium-sized Asian American and small businesses take their business to the next level of growth.

Inaugurated in 2011 by Wells Fargo, Business Express was created for companies with at least $1 million in annual sales that have been in business for at least 3 years. In this workshop series, business owners get a clear perspective of their own business, learn the critical ingredients for efficient and effective operations, develop their own road map for growth and a healthy bottom line, and discover how to lead their business to growth.

Business Express is powered by the U.S. Small Business Administration and °µÍø½ûÇøCNPP, and is sponsored by Wells Fargo, a longtime partner.

Business Express focuses on two components of success:

Operations & Implementation

Learn how to build a scalable, well-managed company, and streamline processes.

Financial Analysis & Tools

Learn how to analyze your company’s financial condition, develop strategies to improve profits/cash flow, and create a financial plan relative to your marketing and management strategies.
