The Community and Business Development Department is devoted to promoting the growth of small businesses in Winston-Salem. Budding entrepreneurs approach the department weekly for assistance in writing business plans and the steps involved in starting a business.
In an effort to broaden our reach, the department will host its third Business Plan Contest. The informational kick-off meeting will be held on Thursday, January 7, at 6:00 pm in the Public Meeting Room on the 5th floor of the Stuart Municipal Building located at 100 E. First Street.
Each of the two winners will receive:
- $5,000 grant for startup costs
- $5,000 potential matching micro-loan
- Opportunity to apply to Small Business Loan Program
