Since its launch in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the program has assisted over 300 small enterprises, including those in food service, pet shops, and dental clinics.
Targeted at companies with annual revenues up to R$1.8 million that have never received consulting before, the program offers nine weeks of guidance from consulting teams.
