All great businesses start with a great idea. Taking that idea and putting it into practice is another matter altogether. Understanding what is needed to start a small business or what permits are needed to sell food safely can be confusing at best, and at worst, can inhibit a great idea from getting off the ground. At TFM we help those dreams become a reality by providing hopeful business owners with the knowledge and expertise they need to navigate the permitting and licensing process, as well as marketing and social media training, and onsite support as their business grows. With decades of experience incubating small businesses, we know business owners face many barriers to achieving their economic goals, especially owners from under-resourced populations. Read our Equity Statement to find our how we’re supporting the economic goals of all our small businesses. For more information see our Resources and Become a Vendor page.
