Business Plan Contest 

Each spring, the Community Business Partnership sponsors its annual Business Plan Contest.  Clients from all CBP programs are invited to submit their business plans for review by a professional panel of judges which typically includes a banker, an attorney, a marketing expert, an accountant, and a former Business Plan Contest winner or small business owner. 

All participants receive written feedback on their plans and are invited to the annual Business Plan Contest Awards Luncheon held in early May.  Those whose plans score the highest among the judges win a prize package of valuable goods and services suitable for new business owners.  Businesses must be “for profit” and less than two years old to be eligible to apply.
