Potential for learning or transfer
This program helps to boost self-employment among women, improving female unemployment rates in the local economy and job creation.
One of the main factor of success is having a good collaborative relationship with financial institutions. Most of the business projects need funding. So it is needed agreements with banks or public institutions that offer fund grants.
It is needed to get a good business plan, knowing as much details as possible: budget, competition, entrepreneurs profile, legal form of the company, products or services offered, resources needed, financial plan, etc.
Services of tutoring and monitoring are essential to go along with the new businesses in their first steps.
