Business Plan Competition | Sep 14, 2007 to Apr 2, 2008

The School of Business Administration at the University of Dayton hosts an annual Business Plan Competition (BPC). For the 2007-2008 BPC, first place will win $10,000 and more than $20,000 in total prize monies will be awarded. The BPC involves teams investigating the feasibility of a new venture and constructing a plan for launching the venture using common formats and guidelines.

Because writing a comprehensive business plan can seem daunting, entry is simple and applicants receive built-in support throughout the entire process of developing a winning plan. Indeed, outstanding business plans often attract funding from investors, something that could eventually spur job creation and economic growth in a region.

The Business Plan Competition is open to:

* Current UD students in any major or school (undergraduate or graduate)
* UD alums (from any program, undergraduate or graduate) from 2002-2007
* Anyone from the broader community provided they enter the competition as part of a team that includes at least one current UD student or 2002-2007 UD alum

Application Deadline: October 31, 2007 Go to http://sbaweb.udayton.edu/udbpc/Application.asp to apply online.
