1. About the Website
The Website presents AG Empower Business Solutions, its business development model, the SIDOME™ methodology (Integrated System for Business Diagnosis, Optimization & Mentoring) and the professional background of its founder. Its content is provided for general information purposes.
Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer to enter into a contract. Any consulting, training, planning or funding-readiness engagement with AG Empower is governed by a separate written agreement, which prevails over these terms in case of conflict.
2. No professional advice
The information on the Website is general in nature and does not take your particular circumstances into account. It is not financial, accounting, tax, legal or investment advice, and it does not create a client relationship. You should obtain advice from a qualified professional before making decisions based on any information published here.
3. The SIDOME platform
The SIDOME platform is available at sidome.agempower.net. Creating an account and using the platform are subject to the terms, privacy notices and any other conditions presented within the platform itself. In particular:
- Diagnoses produced by SIDOME are preliminary and are calculated from the information you provide. They must be reviewed by AG Empower before being used to make decisions.
- You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you enter, and for keeping your login credentials confidential.
- Reports are retained for a limited period (currently 30 days) and are not intended as a permanent record. Keep your own copies of anything you need.
- A preliminary diagnosis does not guarantee access to financing, grants or any particular business outcome.
4. Projections and figures
Figures describing AG Empower's expected impact (for example, projected subscribers, employment or economic output) are forward-looking projections based on the base scenario of AG Empower's Business Plan and, where indicated, on the BEA RIMS II methodology. They are estimates, not historical results or guarantees, and actual results may differ materially.
Statistics about the U.S. small-business sector are cited from public sources (such as the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) as published at the time of writing.
References to public programs, institutions, organizations or individuals describe professional history, ecosystem alignment or recommendation letters. They do not imply endorsement, sponsorship or formal affiliation unless expressly stated.
