Your Essential Partner

Miami Dade County Partnership

BizHack’s courses in English and Spanish have reached more than 6,500 small businesses on six continents. We serve the solopreneur, the microenterprise, the freelancer, the home-based business, the mom-and-pop shop. We understand the stakes. We see the faces behind every storefront, the dreams woven into every business plan. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to empower Business Support Organizations like yours with the hands-on training small businesses need to impact their growth immediately and effectively.

One Size Fits One Training Programs

We provide Technical Assistance to empower Business Support Organizations to offer unparalleled value to their members. We believe that one size fits one and we build customized curriculum, either teaching it directly to small business members or supporting your staff in doing so.

Our training programs are designed to arm Business Support Organizations with the knowledge and tools needed to help small businesses succeed, by centering curriculum around marketing, financial literacy, hiring, and AI tools.

By partnering with BizHack, your organization can avoid the hassle of developing or outsourcing training programs, and we can partner with you to write grants and obtain funding.

Our shared goal is to help your organization attract small businesses through world-class education and provide real-time actionable training to make your small business members profitable.

Why BizHack?

Our training is practical, not theoretical. We understand the constraints small business owners face and design our curriculum to be actionable. We report on learning progress and collect data on demographics and the monetary impact of our training.

Unlike other marketing agencies or freelancers, we do not provide training in an attempt to solicit potential new clients. This is not marketing veiled as training.

Our Results

Newtown Macon is a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) based in Macon, Georgia, that serves the downtown business district.
NewTown Macon wanted to attract new borrowers and they knew marketing was one of the most in demand topics. They received funding from Georgia Power to launch a marketing academy for their clients.

Challenge:

  • Could not find a partner to deliver the curriculum
  • The funding was at risk
  • Solution:

    • BizHack created a Marketing curriculum for NewTown

    Result:

    • Attracted new borrowers and get them started on the marketing portion of loan applications
    • Upskilled existing borrowers to reduce late payment and non-payment rates 
    • Upheld their mission to serve unbankable small businesses.
    We spent years looking for a contractor who could help us build curriculum to meet some very specific needs for our target market. Once we found Dan the project was completed in a matter of months. The teaching we’re able to deliver through our new Marketing Academy dramatically improves the likelihood that our clients will succeed in their business ventures. Moreover, it makes the entire downtown Macon ecosystem more enticing to shoppers and thus resilient for entrepreneurs. Besides being a great person, Dan delivers exactly what he says he will do on time and on budget. I look forward to working with Dan again soon. He made himself indispensable!
    -Josh Rogers, President & CEO, NewTown Macon
    Dan delivered exactly what we needed in a curriculum for our Marketing Academy. In addition to providing a great course that benefited our local entrepreneurs, he provided a system that we can apply to our other academies to improve communication with participation and pacing of the content. He was quick to answer questions and provided support throughout our inaugural Marketing Academy. I would recommend Dan and BizHack for developing or leading any training.
