7HourBizStart Boot Camp & "Making Connections" Event

On Saturday, November 21, 2009 in Chicago from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., one hundred (100) future entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams!

At the first 7HourBizStart Bootcamp in Chicago, these 100 future entrepreneurs will create a business plan and complete their organizing paperwork -by-laws, Board of Directors, shareholder’s list, Articles of Incorporation or Organization – within one intense 7-hour workshop session!

The South Loop Hotel, 10 West 26th Street, in Chicago, is the setting for what will surely be for most participants the most unique business training workshop they’ve ever attended. Our 7-hour BizStartup Bootcamp is the answer to the question: Why do most people who talk about starting their own businesses never actually do it? Because they are overwhelmed by what appears to be a very complex process of developing and legally establishing a new business enterprise.

The truth is, legally establishing your own business enterprise is largely a matter of understanding and following some basic steps, all of which will be explained in detail at our 7HourBizStartup Bootcamp! We’ll show you:

• How to create and develop a one-page summary of your business concept
• How to identify and acquire the resources – people, equipment, and working capital – you need without going to a bank, friends or family (you can tap these resources later but you have a much greater chance of being successful if you develop and nuture your own unique resource base).
• How to legally establish your business enterprise – incorporating your business, obtaining state and federal tax i.d. numbers, registering your business enterprise in the county of origin, hosting your first organizational meeting (incorporators and board of directors), developing legal corporate documents including board resolutions covering every action you as the founder and president/CEO take in establishing and managing your business, and much more!
• How to identify and solicit the first paying clients for your new business
• How to develop a low-cost, highly-effective marketing and promotional strategy
• How to conduct yourself as the CEO of a growing small business corporation

And much more!

Our goal in presenting the 7HourBizStartup Bootcamp is to empower you to establish your own small business corporation and take the next step forward in joining the entrepreneurial ranks of tens of millions of Americans who know that the key to financial wealth and independence is through business ownership.
