Lane MicroBusiness was created to help microentrepreneurs develop and improve their business skills, manage the growth and profitability of their business ventures, and improve self-sufficiency. The Lane MicroBusiness program also offers confidential and personal business assistance to entrepreneurs on virtually any subject of importance to the small business owner. Participants will enjoy a self-directed learning environment and an individually tailored program.
Some training is available through a variety of training modes.
Another component of Lane MicroBusiness is a micro-credit loan program that is sponsored by OUR Federal Credit Union, Wells Fargo Bank, and the City of Eugene. This program assists participants in becoming credit-worthy and providing capital to grow their businesses. Participants go through a needs assessment and training before qualifying for this program. An initial screening for the entrepreneur is followed by an individualized needs assessment.
