The three phases in BTPN's program involves the following:
Phase I 'Beginning Steps Conference':
The Foundations of Business (28 hours of intensive instruction giving the skelton of business skills and equipping the
candidates to do a marketing survey)
Marketing Survey: An assignment which
prepares the candidate to put together a good business plan. Based on the quality of the survey turned in, the candidate
proceeds to Phase II or returns to Phase I next year.
Phase II 'Details Conference':
A more personal one-on-one approach where candidates work directly with business men to develop a workable business plan.
Funding Process: We do not guarantee
to candidates that they will be funded. Based on the quality and vision of the business plan, the candidate's business plan
is made available to American and European Christian business people and churches for funding. The loans will not
be paid back to the donor, but will be paid to a fund, which will be used to fund additional businesses in future days.
Phase III 'Getting Started Conference':
Those candidates who have been funded will be invited back to further develop their understanding of business management
and financial skills. Those candidates not funded are invited to come back the following year in hope that they
will be more fortunate then.
