The Chicago City Treasurer’s Office and the IL SBDC/Duman Entrepreneurship Center are sponsoring a business plan competition. As part of the competition, we are providing free workshops to business plan competition entrants. Workshops will provide entrants with insight and guidance from professionals who have extensive experience in writing business plans.

1. Need Help Starting Your Business Plan? Come to One of Our Workshops!
Getting started on a business plan can be a daunting task. Without past experience in writing business
plans, the process might seem impossible to manage. That’s why, as a part of the Business Plan
Competition, The Chicago City Treasurer’s Office and JVS Chicago/IL SBDC/Duman Entrepreneurship
Center provide free workshops to competition entrants. At the workshops, entrants will receive insight,
advice and guidance as they prepare their business plans for submission.
Each workshop will be led by professionals who have extensive experience in writing business plans.
Entrants can expect to leave the workshop with the tools necessary to make an extraordinary business
plan.
