Empowering Local Entrepreneurs, One Conversation at a Time

At Northwest Missouri Enterprise Facilitation, we believe that strong communities are built by supporting the dreams of the people who live in them. Inspired by the philosophy of Dr. Ernesto Sirolli and the principles of Enterprise Facilitation, our mission is to help local entrepreneurs turn great ideas into thriving businesses — one person, one idea, one community at a time.

Founded on the idea that real economic growth begins with listening, we provide free, confidential, and one-on-one business coaching to help individuals discover their passions, develop their skills, and connect with the right resources.
