Massey Center for Business Innovation and Development Testimonials

Whether you have an established business or are contemplating the start-up of a business, you owe it to yourself & your business to participate in the FastTrac program.  The FastTrac classes provided me with a clear understanding of the importance of having a working business plan and the skills to create that plan. I appreciated the opportunity to gain a better understanding of my company’s finances and to learn how to apply financial ratios that affect my bottom line.  Through FastTrac, I met and networked with other small business owners and learned through sharing our experiences. FastTrac provided me with information and business resources that I am still using, long after the classes ended.

I wish I had found FastTrac sooner. The tools, guest speakers, and resources made available to students are a tremendous help to any business startup. The financial planning tools are a great help to planning how much it will cost and what you will require. The guest speakers were very informative and, in general, very experienced business people who honestly wanted to help fellow small business people. I am now in the process of approaching venture capitalist to get investments to take my business to the next level.

Attending the FastTrac program gave me additional tools to assist our clients who are primarily individuals with disabilities and are considering self-employment as a viable alternative to traditional employment. The course was professionally facilitated and made even more meaningful by guests who are successful entrepreneurs and resource partners. A great systematic approach to an important process!
