About the Event
To extend help to micro-entrepreneurs, The Entrepreneurship Club (E-Club) of Far Eastern University (FEU) will kick off E-Raise, a six-month business program sketched out for seventy sari-sari store owners on February 15, 2016 in Mandaluyong City.
This workshop will include a comprehensive plenary discussion on the fundamentals of business, including funding, accounting, marketing, sustainability and scalability, which are of paramount importance to smalltime entrepreneurs.
Invited to share their expertise are Benita & Catalino Yap Foundation (BCYF) member Ronaldo De Los Santos from BCYF Advisory Council, BCYF Executive Vice President J Anton R. Yap, Ronda Palengke Initiatives founder Kevin Dela Cruz, and Strokes of Broke artist Nikky Rivera. Members of Go Negosyo, Grant Thornton Philippines and Junior Achievement Philippines will also participate in the event.
Aside from the inclusive discussions, E-Raise will also open the floor for entrepreneurial consultations on general micro-business, bookkeeping, basic accounting, and regulatory process and requirements. Moreover, the FEU students will lead in monitoring the participants and mentoring them regarding sales, profit, cost accounting, pricing, and marketing aspects of business through out the program.
