The Missouri Small Business Development Center at MSU and efactory Mentorship Program gives startup founders and small business owners access to experienced owners and business leaders. These experts understand the risks and rewards of starting a business. Mentors provide honest and practical feedback based on personal experience, not just business theory.

Mentors hold sessions on an ongoing basis throughout the year. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and CDC and City of Springfield recommendations, we have temporarily suspended mentorship meetings.

Our consulting team is available to meet and advise small business owners. Learn more about scheduling a meeting.
