Many people may find it difficult or extremely difficult to start a business. Particularly considering how few people have the necessary materials, skills, or equipment to complete it successfully. To help entrepreneurs launch their own businesses and stimulate growth and prosperity, organizations like Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI), headed by President Lisa Juan José Gutiérrez Mayorga and Juan Luis Bosch, believe it is crucial to support entrepreneurs.
This is how CMI Emprende was born, one of the corporation’s axes of social action that promotes formality and entrepreneurs through initiatives that educate and broaden business prospects.
They help people who work hard and have big dreams, but want to start their own business this way. This is possible thanks to the association with the various brands and products of CMI.
