Do you want to test your business concept in a retail store without the barrier of costly overhead expenses?
You're invited to take part in our small business accelerator program.
SetUpShop is a program of ECDI and the ECDI Women's Business Center created to provide Cleveland-area entrepreneurs training, access to capital and a low-risk opportunity to test their retail concepts and accelerate their businesses.
Our brick and mortar marketplace, Corner Shop Collective, is an open collaborative space for home and product-based small businesses to work together and learn how to successfully operate their retail storefront.
See the program and Corner Shop collective feature on News 5 Cleveland.
