Member Benefits

Entrepreneurs who become Elmseed members are eligible to access Elmseed's business training services and to apply for small loans.

All Elmseed members attend monthly one-on-one consulting sessions with Elmseed's staff. Members address their current business challenges with the help of Elmseed staff consultants, who provide business advice and assist with problem-solving. In addition, Elmseed members attend quarterly all-Elmseed meetings at which members network with other Elmseed entrepreneurs and hear speakers on relevant business topics.

In addition to receiving individualized consulting, Elmseed members who wish to hone their business skills or would like assistance with turning their business ideas into full business plans may choose to enroll in Elmseed's business training course. Our business training course is taught from the professionally-authored CoreFour curriculum and addresses business fundamentals, including sales and marketing, writing a business plan, and business licensing. Members may also schedule additional one-on-one consulting sessions.

Elmseed members who have full business plans are eligible to apply for Elmseed's small loans in order to invest in and grow their businesses.
