Free "info" night Jan. 29 for BCE's 2014 business plan competition; $6,000 in start-up prize money will be awarded
There’s still time to enter the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs 2014 Ropp Triplett Business Plan Competition.
Due to weather delays, BCE has moved the first competition meeting from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 29, in the third floor of the Bluffton town hall (elevator accessible).
Kathy Keller of the Small Business Administration, Rhodes State College, Lima, will led the session.
Jan. 29 is a learning session with no cost involved and no obligation to continue in the competition. It will provide information about the competition and will cover the subject “Launch your business right!”
It’s a great way to learn more about what is involved and to learn if you are a right fit for this competition.
All sessions will take place on Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Bluffton town hall. (This is a change from sessions originally planned on Thursdays at Bluffton University.)
Anyone with questions may contact Fred Steiner at 419-369-2985 or email him at [email protected].
