Boston – The U.S. Small Business Administration recognized 20 small businesses today in a graduation ceremony in Boston. The goal of the SBA Emerging 200 initiative, started last Spring, was to identify 200 inner-city businesses across the country that show a high potential for growth—and to provide them the network, resources and motivation required to build a sustainable business of size and scale within a designated inner-city geographic location. Boston was selected to participate in the SBA’s Emerging 200 Initiative (e200) and 20 businesses signed up. SBA selected Cambridge-based InnerCity Entrepreneurs to conduct the executive training aspect of SBA’s Emerging 200 initiative, a jobs and growth stimulation effort targeting promising inner-city small businesses. The CEOs and small business owners who have graduated from the program have produced a three-year strategic growth plan with benchmarks and performance targets. They were trained further to target their business strategies to accelerate growth, explore financing, diversify markets and expand their networking. Jeff Andrade, Associate Administrator of the Office of Entrepreneurial Development in Washington, D.C. was on hand to present the e200 grads with their awards. “SBA is investing in the e200 businesses so that they can invest in others,” said Andrade. “Small businesses drive our economy and keep our country vibrant, adaptable and competitive.” The cornerstone of e200 in Boston was an in-depth 80 hour educational program, which ran from June through December, 2008, focusing on topics such as organization management, growth strategies and management, market development, and strategic planning.
