$25K To Winner of "Best Business Plan Contest"

Online, August 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Winner of the "Best Business Plan Contest" gets up to $25,000 in investment capital for their new business or business expansion, announced Gary Grottke, President of Business Kickoff.

"There are a significant number of people with great ideas for new businesses that lack the start up capital needed to launch, we hope to close that gap for at least one new business, maybe more."

Hollie Bourne, one of the Coaches at Business Kickoff, stated "Business Plans can be submitted from now through year-end, and we will announce the winner on January 31, 2012." There may be more than one winner and it is possible than an outstanding plan may even be selected before the contest end date. Bourne added that " We are looking to help entrepreneurs and invest in great new businesses, so if there is more than one winning Plan we will try to find a way to support that business too."

For additional information and the terms and conditions for the contest, go to www.bestbusplancontest.com. There are obviously some restrictions on the use of the capital - like no payments to owners, among some others. "Overall, we have tried to keep the terms rather general, so we can work out the details with the contest winner", stated Bourne.

For people with great ideas but not enough experience to prepare a Business Plan, there is an outline and some information available on the website. Additionally, Grottke noted that the Coaches at Business Kickoff are available to provide guidance on preparing Business Plans. People that require assistance preparing their plan can just call our toll free number and schedule an appointment with one of our coaches. We are happy to help at no-charge for interested parties."

Grottke stated "The $25,000 investment can be either equity - a partnership or limited liability company interest - or a loan, whatever makes more sense for the new business. We are looking to partner with entrepreneurs and bring both capital and our expertise in starting and managing new businesses to the table."

"We look forward to reviewing some killer Business Plans and helping some new businesses get off the ground!" noted Grottke.
