Small business owners and entrepreneurs are being encouraged to apply for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program. Beginning in January of 2019, it will be hosted in the State of Iowa and is free to all businesses within the state. The program includes a curriculum developed by Babson College, which was recently named number one for entrepreneurship by U.S. News & World Report for the 22nd year in a row. Applications are open now, closing on Monday, Oct. 15. Those applicants who are accepted will receive hands-on education for business growth, access to highly-trained, small business professionals and an expanded peer network of small business owners from across the country. To be eligible, businesses must have been operating for the past two years, have at least $100,000 in revenues and employ at least two employees, including the business owner. “Small business owners drive our state’s economy and their companies are the heart and soul of our communities,” says Governor Kim Reynolds. “I encourage all Iowa small businesses to apply to this exciting program. As Iowa small businesses grow and thrive, the entire state benefits.” An online information session will be held Tuesday, Oct. 9, and a link to register for that can be found below. Additional information and applications can also be found through another link included there as well.
