Help the nonprofit Bpeace support a small business owner by developing a Growth-File (G-File) for their pharmaceutical business in El Salvador.
Bpeace will provide an interview guide so you can interview the small business owner over Zoom. You will fill out the G-file -- a PowerPoint template provided by Bpeace -- that will help you capture their business history, value proposition, financial overview, client and customer makeup, product/service lineup, and geographic coverage.
The G-file gives the owner a bird's eye view of their business and helps them identify a Growth Project they will carry out with support from Bpeace so they can increase their revenues and create jobs.
As the G-File creator, you make the initial critical impact by helping a business owner clarify what they want to accomplish with Bpeace and demonstrating to them that the right questions and candid answers are the first steps towards more business growth.
The primary deliverable is a complete G-File template -- approximately 10 page PowerPoint deck.
The G-File will be used by the small business owner and Bpeace staff and volunteers in order to target workshops, coaching and consulting in a way that can have the strongest impact in creating more jobs and revenue.
We have a plethora of resources to help you succeed.
