Programs Business Express

Business Express is an annual business executive coaching program, specifically created to help small and medium-sized Asian American and minority 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 USPAACC CNPP, 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.
