Vision: To improve communities through entrepreneurship
Our vision is for entrepreneurs and small businesses in the Racine and Kenosha area to flourish. Local entrepreneurs and small businesses will help to build a resilient, thriving, and diverse community. There is ample opportunity for improving the economic stability of persons, businesses, and neighborhoods by way of our notable start-up business support system. CEDCO promotes the future of small businesses in our community because we see the need for more opportunities; entrepreneurship allows for the creation of these new possibilities.
Mission: Grow entrepreneurs in the community
CEDCO is working to develop local business management capacity, assist entrepreneurs, sustain small businesses and advocate for minority businesses in order to improve economic quality of life. We provide invaluable resources for entrepreneurs and small businesses to grow and succeed in the community.
Our formula is simple: "Plant and nurture the seed of entrepreneurship, and watch your community grow!"
Strategy: Surround growing entrepreneurs and small businesses with successful entrepreneurs and resources who can truly make a difference
CEDCO is a not-for-profit striving to provide start-ups, entrepreneurs and small businesses with the resources they need to begin and grow their venture with a solid business foundation. We provide advising, consulting services, financial support and online workshops. CEDCO has created a support team of talented and experienced entrepreneurs who truly care about the world they are serving. Other entities have created gaps in the business development process by not genuinely understanding the needs of entrepreneurs; our strategy is to fill those gaps. Surrounding growing entrepreneurs and small businesses with successful entrepreneurs and resources will be the stepping stone towards success.
