About the ACI-Survivor Program and Training
Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners ask, "Why do I
need the ACI-Survivor Program?"
Let's start with the term, "Survivor."
Only one in five entrepreneurs will do the work necessary to successfully
open their business and make it past the first year. These are "survivors."
In the USA in the past ten years, small businesses created over 20 million
new jobs, and that's conservative. But along the way, we lost close to
70% of these new businesses. Only a few were the "survivors."
Click this Problem Chart to display the common causes of failures in small
businesses that open their doors too soon and become overwhelmed with
"real-world" problems and that devour their time and money faster than
they ever imagined.
If you are thinking about starting a new small business or may have opened
the doors too soon and are struggling to survive, then you need to
participate in our ACI-Survivor Program.
Our ACI-Survivor Program is designed to train your organization leaders and
managers at all levels (workforce, operations, marketing/sales, executive)
to conduct a bottom-to-top, in-depth examination of your organization.

| NEW ACI-Cash Flow Model: In Feb 2010 we have integrated this model into the ACI-Survivor without increasing the cost! This model is designed to help very small or non-employee firms input, track and IMPROVE their estimates of monthly cash inflows (sales, A/R, loan receipts, investor contributions, other cash inflows). Cash inflows have probability estimates aimed at making cash inflow estimates more accurate. Cash outflows (expenses, wages, benefits, insurance, taxes, etc.) have columns that help business owners assign value added (1-5) estimates for each item. Example: wages might be high value; office music system might be a low value item. This value added rating helps business owners determine what costs to cut first, second, etc. The ACI-Cash Flow Model calculates cumulative cash flow with red-yellow-green alert flags that "wake up" the business owner to help them take immediate action to prevent serious cash shortages and shutdown of the business. The SBDC should audit the clients Cash Flow inputs to ensure that the data are valid. This will give the SBDC great insight into what needs to be done to save more SBDC Non-Employee and 1-4 employee firms. |
