Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB): Expand Your Business (EYB)

Your Expand Your Business (EYB) Participant Portal

How to Use Your EYB Portal

Welcome to your Expand Your Business (EYB) Participant Portal. This is your private workspace for your strategic worksheets, Business Expansion Plan, six-month implementation forms, session resources, and progress records.

A welcome video will be available here shortly.

What Is in Your Portal?

Your EYB portal is your private workspace for the programme. Here is what you will find:

  • Worksheets — Your strategic planning worksheets. Complete each one before the relevant session. Your answers are saved automatically as you type.
  • Six-Month Business Expansion Implementation Forms — Your six-month implementation tracking forms. These become available at the right point in the programme.
  • Resources — Session slides, templates, and reference materials uploaded by your facilitator after each session.
  • FAQ — Answers to common questions about the programme and the portal.

How to Complete Your Worksheets

1

Open the worksheet from your portal home

Your worksheets are listed on the portal home page. Click Open next to the worksheet for your next session. Worksheets are released in order — you must complete each one before the next becomes available.

2

Complete it before your session

Each worksheet asks you to analyse a part of your business before attending the session. Work through the questions carefully. Your answers are saved automatically as you type — you do not need to submit or save manually.

3

Mark it complete when finished

When you have filled in all sections, click Mark as Complete. This unlocks the next worksheet and lets your facilitator see your progress. Do this before your session so your facilitator can review your preparation.

4

Return to review at any time

You can reopen any completed worksheet to review your answers at any point during the programme. Your answers remain saved to your account throughout the programme.

Worksheet Unlocking

Worksheets are released in order. Each worksheet must be marked complete before the next one becomes available. This is by design — each session builds on the work of the previous one. If a worksheet shows as Locked, complete the previous worksheet first and mark it complete.

Your Six-Month Business Expansion Implementation Forms

After the strategic sessions, the portal contains four implementation tracking forms. Your facilitator will release each form at the right point in your programme:

  • Business Expansion Implementation Action Plan — Completed after the final strategic session
  • Monthly Business Expansion Progress Report — Submitted before each scheduled accountability session
  • Accountability Session Evaluation — Completed after each company review or Business Support Group session
  • Six-Month Business Expansion Impact Assessment — Completed before the final Month 6 review

Some forms may appear on your portal dashboard before they are released. If a form is marked "Not yet available," your facilitator has not opened it yet.

Your Answers Are Private

Your worksheet answers and form submissions are saved to your account. They are visible only to you and your programme facilitators. No other participant can see your responses.
