RESOURCES
BuyDetroit has partnered with LISC to bring forth a FREE program for small businesses—the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready program. It’ll teach you strategies other businesses are using to get ahead. And you’ll learn how to be more digitally savvy.
Small Business Digital Ready provides personalized content, coaching, networking and more, and all the online tools are in one place, so it’s easy to use.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
When you sign up for the program, you’ll answer a series of questions about your business and your specific needs and interests. Based on your answers, Verizon and its partners will personalize a learning dashboard with content to match your needs.
Next, you’ll have access to short online learning modules created by actual small business owners on the topics most important to your business right now.
You’ll have the opportunity to sign up for coaching events and start networking with other small businesses. Not only that, as you participate in the program, you can become eligible to apply for an exclusive pool of grants, as well as benefit from an exclusive marketplace of tools, solutions, products and services that can help move your business forward.
Small Business Digital Ready is part of Verizon’s commitment to provide support for 1 million small businesses over the next decade.
Take advantage of this great opportunity and start building a better business!
