About this Event
What is the Further Faster Business Program?
The Further Faster program is a condensed business training program for entrepreneurs at any stage, from idea all the way to scaling, for any type of product or service-based business.
Entrepreneurs can benefit from this program by building strong foundations that create effective, efficient and profitable businesses.
The program is perfect for entrepreneurs starting a new business, considering pivoting or growing an existing business. Your participation in Further Faster enrolls you as a client into the Henry Bernick Entrepreneurship Centre, which gives you access to all of our supports, resources and workshops throughout the year.
"We start by cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset and building a clear customer profile. From there, we shape a compelling value proposition that truly connects with your target market. Next, we explore the infrastructure and operations that drive your business, giving you a roadmap for sustainable growth. Whether you’re entering the market for the first time or scaling an established venture, we’ll help you “turn on the headlights” and move forward with confidence."
Don Bourne - HBEC Business Mentor, Program Facilitator & Client Services
