Capital One Bank opens enrollment for
the 2015 Getting Down to Business Program

In its seventh year, Capital One Bank’s Getting Down to Business is an innovative technical assistance training program designed specifically for small businesses with annual revenues of less than a million dollars.  The program is FREE.

Getting Down to Business features a multi-course, in-depth curriculum, offered over eight months, that addresses the core needs of small businesses. Workshops include: creation of a business plan, marketing, addressing personal as well as business credit, savings, accounting best practices, insurance, legal issues, networking, and much more.

The program includes a matched savings component up to $2,000 that the business owners can use for operations, staffing or the purchase of supplies – upon completion of the program.

In addition, participants are paired with knowledgeable professionals and volunteers who serve as mentors and coaches during and post completion of the program. Each small business owner will have a Capital One Small Business Banker, and a personal Financial Advisor.
