Chicago wants to help you with your business plan.
The city treasurer’s office is offering a series of four free business plan seminars to help people draft a two-page blueprint for their business idea -- as well as a contest that offers $10,000 in cash prizes to the best three business plans.
Entrepreneurs who attend one of the seminars get expert help drawing up a business template that includes a mission statement, current and projected growth and revenue vs. cost.
"Banks say the number one reason they turn down entrepreneurs is lack of a good business plan,” says City Treasurer Stephanie Neely, “This program helps entrepreneurs build their own financial future."
The contest is open to start-ups and existing businesses with less than $2 million annual revenues.
