A Kansas Success Story

Since 2002, five Kansas projects involving 28 counties have begun using Enterprise Facilitation. The results have been spectacular:

• 94 per cent of the businesses started in these projects are still active in 2007
• each project averages 10 to 15 business startups annually, producing 40 to 60 new jobs each year per project
• all this on an annual budget of $75,000 to $90,000 per project, an average of about $2000 invested per job created
• in 2007, the Kansas state government recognized the success of Enterprise Facilitation by passing legislation providing up to 30 per cent of ongoing annual funding for the five projects
• with over 20 years of proven best practices in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the USA, Enterprise Facilitation projects around the world retain an average of 80 to 90 per cent of new businesses after five years.
