In a nutshell, My City Connected is a portal of opportunities. A place where aspiring entrepreneurs can find opportunities to explore their passion and pursue their dreams, and a place where existing small businesses can save money while increasing their bottom line.

We know how hard it can be for entrepreneurs to turn their business ideas into a real business. We understand the difficulties involved in selling a product or service while having to manage employees, pay bills, and keep up to date on market efforts in order to gain more customers and make more money.  Many new businesses fail NOT because they’re in the wrong business, but because they cannot afford the business they’re in.

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, most microbusinesses cost around $3,000 to start, while most home-based franchises cost $2,000 to $5,000. That’s a lot of money and a huge risk if you already have life knocking at your door every day in the form of Rent/Mortgage, Utilities, Insurance, Travel, Food, Gas, Clothing, Children, etc.  The figures noted above from the U.S. Small Business Administration only cover the “Start Up” cost. What about the day to day cost of operation? There’s the website, marketing tools, utilities, internet, insurance, transportation, office supplies, etc. After the initial investment, the small business owner who is determined to do their best to succeed will find themselves spending anywhere from $500 to $1500 a month (before payroll) in order to keep their business in optimum condition with the ability to effectively market themselves, compete and grow.

At My City Connected we work hard to help small business owners and entrepreneurs reduce these costs while at the same time provide them with the tools and education to help increase their ability to effectively compete and grow their business.  Take a look at how we accomplish this below.
