Boost Your Business

Forbes.com will be kicking off their Boost Your Business competition April 2nd. The prize – a $100,000 cash infusion for your business. So dust off your business plan and get ready to convince Forbes.com that your business, above all others, can do the most with that fat pile of money.

This is the 2nd year for the competition. Last year, nearly 1,000 candidates fought it out for the cash. Five finalists presented their business plans to a panel of judges and the lucky winner walked away with a check for $100,000.

I’d love to send a plan produced with some help from Business Plan Pro to this competition in April so convince me that you’ve got a chance of winning the Forbes.com competition in the comments section of this post and I’ll give you a free copy of Business Plan Pro Premier.

Stay tuned to Forbes.com and the Boost Your Business website for details regarding the business plan submission process.

Hello, great article, I also found the Business Plan Pro software to be useful in getting started with a business plan. I do have some articles and will add some tutorials on my site about the software http://www.edward-palonek.com/
Would you be interested in link exchange?

Hello,
I just found this wonderful site filled with information. What right timing this is! We have *played* with our business for several years and are now in the start up phases of becoming *real*. A business plan is the first needed step along with many others. The Forbes contest really caught my eye. One of our biggest challenges, besides needing to learn everything yesterday, is the lack of resources. That however will not stop us this time. I’m convinced a business plan is essential to that growth. It will put on paper that we are serious about our business and about growing it. I would LOVE to be a winner of the Forbes contest and wouldn’t it be wonderful to win it through using your software, because that is where I found out about the contest from. Give credit where credit is due. Thanks! I will be a repeat visitor here.
