Thousands of dollars in prize money were awarded this past spring in the 2011 Northeast Wisconsin Business Plan competition, and the Waupaca County Economic Development Corporation wants to get the word out to potential entrepreneurs that it is not too early to be thinking about the 2012 competition cycle.
Business plans are a critical tool in the proper planning and launch of new ventures and are the preferred mode of communication between entrepreneurs, innovators and potential investors. The goal of the competition is to encourage the preparation of business plans for start-up businesses, significant changes to existing businesses, or the launch of new products in northeast Wisconsin.
The Waupaca County Economic Development Corporation offers complimentary services to assist entrepreneurs in developing a business plan. As deadlines for the Northeast Wisconsin Business Plan competition near, the Waupaca County EDC can provide all necessary information about entering the contest to anyone who is interested.
The deadline for entries is Jan. 9, 2012. Anyone wishing to get more information, or assistance with the development of their business plan, should contact the Waupaca County Economic Development Corporation at 920-982-1582, or email us at [email protected]. The Waupaca County Economic Development Corporation serves as a partner in the Northeast Wisconsin Business Plan Competition.
