We are proud to recognize participating businesses of our Business Planning for Profitability Accelerator, a comprehensive initiative designed to help entrepreneurs and small business owners develop robust, actionable business plans in a short, accelerated time frame.
Over the course of several weeks, participants work closely with consultants and peers to refine their business models, conduct market research, and create detailed financial projections. The program culminates in the presentation of a final business plan, ready to be implemented. Those who received a 70% or above are considered "READY" for funding. Those with lower scores are still able to graduate but are encouraged to continue working on their plans. Others find that funding is not needed at this time and generating sales should remain the focus.
With the support of the Franklin County Commissioners and Rev1 Ventures, the program has supported 30 businesses in the Central Ohio area this year. Of those who have enrolled, we're proud to recognize thirteen businesses who have completed our Winter 2024 and Spring 2024 cohorts:

As we celebrate the achievements of our graduates so far this year, we also look forward to the next cohort of business owners who will embark on this journey. The Business Planning Program continues to be a beacon of support for emerging business owners, helping them navigate the challenges of business ownership with confidence and clarity.
