The Franklin Neighborhood Development Corporation (FNDC), in partnership with the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation, offers Emprende Sacramento, a Spanish-speaking small business training course. Over 10 weeks in the evening, the program offers Latino/a entrepreneurs from the Sacramento area small group trainings and follow-up assistance sessions to help them become successful in running a small business. The program includes sessions on small business planning, legal structure, licenses, permits and taxes, small business loans and financing, operations, financial management, controlling costs, and business marketing. Following graduation, the program offers consulting assistance, resources, and referrals to provide program graduates the help they need to thrive as small business owners.

In the five cohorts to date, the program has trained over 50 entrepreneurs. Our 8th cohort starts in early 2023. For more information, please fill out the interest form in the link.
