It takes more than just a loan to build a business from the ground up.  That's why OnTRAC, ACCION's Training, Resource, and Advising Center provides business owners with free financial and business training needed to take their business to the next level.

One-on-One Business and Credit Consulting

ACCION clients can meet one-on-one with an OnTRAC consultant to learn more about:

• Credit management - Learn how to build and maintain good credit or improve your credit, which will help you qualify for larger loans or lower interest rate credit cards in the future.
• Business recordkeeping - Establish records so you know which products sell and where your business stands.
• Cash flow - Make wise decisions and better plan for the future of your business.
• Marketing - Determine a marketing strategy and discuss low-cost marketing ideas.
• Writing a business plan - Learn the components of a strong business plan that will help guide your business to the next level.
