The Hanover Economic Tourism and Cultural Development Advisory Committee is launching a new Entrepreneur Business Pitch Competition.
This inaugural Hanover’s Innovative People Program (HIPP) competition is inviting entrepreneurs who wish to open a new business in the community, purchase an existing business, or re-locate an existing business in the town to participate, with over $11,000 available in prizes.
The competition will ask participants to submit a written business plan and deliver a 15-minute oral presentation to the Hanover Economic Development Manager and a panel of judges.
The finalists will need to develop a thorough and structured business plan and attend one training session which will focus on identifying what they need to get started on their entrepreneurship, as well as introduce the tools they need to succeed.
The prizes include start-up funding, business coaching, advertising packages, digital media support, and complimentary memberships and services.
Those interested in participating must fill out an application along with an executive summery by 5 p.m. Sept. 30 to the Town of Hanover Municipal Office.
