REDCO Business Certification Program:
A Proven Path to Starting and Growing Your Business!

After the success of our 2021 program, REDCO has once again partnered with Monroe Community College (MCC) to offer the REDCO Business Certification Program to entrepreneurs and small business owners in the City of Rochester.

The program - backed by both M&T Bank and ESL Federal Credit Union, is based on the nationally known Launch Your Business! series offered by MCC and is specifically tailored to Rochester-based small business owners and start-ups to help them fully understand business ownership, strategies, responsibilities, and compliance. It will be administered via MCC Faculty from their Economic & Workforce Development Center.

The program, one of only a few of this type offered nationwide, provides 10 participants per program with 10 immersive and comprehensive days of instruction, covering strategies to start and grow one’s own business and provides tailored mentorship of the start-up and scale-up businesses via local members of SCORE.

Participants in the program develop comprehensive business plans, learn small business finance, develop a marketing plan, and participate in a business launch simulation.

Each participant also receives a laptop, courtesy of The Shore Foundation.

The next cohort begins February 16th, 2022. It will be offered in a virtual format, and certification will be based on the successful completion of the program and passing all associated tests.
