Description
The Community Business Academy (CBA) is a 12-week, hands-on entrepreneurship course designed to equip emerging and existing business owners with the tools, knowledge, and support network needed to turn passion into profit and ideas into thriving enterprises.
Through a dynamic learning experience—combining weekly in-person or virtual classes with practical, real-world assignments—participants learn how to:
Develop and refine a business model that meets market needs
Build a realistic budget and manage cash flow with confidence
Market products and services using proven strategies
Understand bookkeeping, pricing, and profit margins
Classes are offered in both English and Spanish and supported by personalized coaching, peer collaboration, and a community of entrepreneurs who grow together, encourage one another, and stay connected well beyond the classroom.
The CBA is the first step in the Sunshine Enterprises learning journey—preparing entrepreneurs for Business Acceleration Services and eventually access to capital through Credit to Capital.
