The other day, I told you of a helpful program for existing business owners. So what have I got for those of you that have not yet opened your own place? Business plan writing assistance, of course.
The Tampa Jaycees are sponsoring a business plan competition for Tampa Bay entrepreneurs under the age of 40. Young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to submit their business plans for review and advice from a panel of local business leaders. The first fifty plans will be ranked. If you need help, the USF Small Business Development Center has classes for entrants. The special class is offered to those who pay their registration fees before March 1 and will include an overview of how to write a business plan as well as SBDC software. StarTecFlorida is another sponsor and has a little more info.
