The Business Center is an outstanding resource for start-up and established businesses. An effective business plan is the starting ground for the success of a business and The Business Center is a great place to start and to continue to nuture your business. I had the privilege of wining The 2007 Enterprising Woman Business Plan competition, and feel honored to be acknowledged by the organization.

Sheila Mitchell-Green, Soles, A Shoe Experience

The competition was a tremendous learning experience. The challenge I am most proud of was learning to compose and deliver a clear, concise and convincing 20 minute presentation summarizing my business to a panel of judges.

Ilene Hass, Just Rites

Participating in the business plan competition challenged me to create a road map to my ultimate destination…the establishment of a successful retail business. Your business plan provides you the directions of how to get from point A to point B. By participating, I realized how essential it is to have a solid, well thought out and well written plan. It helps you connect the dots. It goes from being a figment of your imagination to a reality. Putting all of my “illustrious” plans and ideas paper was threatening, yet exhilarating! Participating in the business plan competition sharpened my skills and boosted my confidence. I am so thankful I participated!
