BUSINESSES UNITED TO SUCCEED

Businesses United To Succeed (BUTS) is a small business support group, organized in 1997 as a subsidiary of Educational Training & Development, Inc. to provide a solid foundation for expanding economic opportunities for small, minority and women owned businesses. Statistics show 65% of all small businesses fail within the first year.

BUTS' aim is to build a strong, solid business network and support group to collectively level the playing field that has limited small and minority business growth, profitability and stymied their will to succeed. Businesses United to Succeed will provide small businesses with the motivation and inspiration to (MAKE IT HAPPEN) "Where there is unity there is strength."
