Welcome to 2025: New Tools, Resources, and Opportunities for Small Businesses!
The innovative "Sip and Submit: Boost Your Business Brunch" is a year-long program aimed at empowering minority, veteran, and women entrepreneurs in South Florida.
In this group but intimate, professional setting, we guide you through the complete Florida business certification process while you enjoy brunch and networking opportunities with like-minded business owners and small business resource partners.
During this brunch, you'll receive hands-on assistance with your certification application, access to essential resources including notary services, and multilingual support (English, Spanish, Kreyol, and ASL). Our experienced team and partners will be there every step of the way, ensuring you leave with your certification application completed and submitted. Once submitted, you should receive your certification within 30-60 days and it is valid for two years!
Space is limited to 45 businesses per brunch, to ensure personalized attention for each business owner. This is not a free event, however, we like to keep in mind the budget of small business owners, so the tickets are all-inclusive and affordable! General admission tickets are priced at $80, while veteran tickets are $55. If a business has multiple owners, it is highly recommended that all business owners are present. The majority owner must be in attendance. We also are offering discounted rates for businesses with 3+ owners.
Tickets can be purchased by visiting "Paid Offerings" and locating the general or veteran admission for your preferred date. This is a two part registration. Once purchasing your ticket, complete the JotForm that can be found at https://form.jotform.com/250040821086144
