Introducing… Atlantic Business Magazine’s Super Start-up Program!

In keeping with Atlantic Business Magazine’s mission of promoting business activity throughout the region, we’re celebrating our 25^th anniversary by launching a Super Start-up program. With the help of our corporate partners (see list on next page), we are providing 26 Super Start-up subsidies (each consisting of $2,500 cash plus 25 hours of mentorship) to aspiring entrepreneurs throughout Atlantic Canada. Though we hope to make this an annual event, the continuation of the Super Start-up program will depend on the depth and level of interest from program participants.

Aspiring Atlantic Canada entrepreneurs (must be resident in one of the four Atlantic provinces as of the application deadline) are invited to apply.

• 
  how this Super Start-up fund will advance his/her business;
  
• 
  knowledge/advisory assistance they hope to receive from their prospective mentor; and,
  
• 
  the applicant’s top three picks from the list of 26 corporate partners, explaining why you feel you are a good match for these particular companies. (Note: though we cannot guarantee successful applicants will get one of their top picks as their mentor, every effort will be made to do so.)
  

Applications will be evaluated based on the quality of the business plan, the originality of the idea, the business’s probability of success and mentor suitability.

Each of the following is providing a $2,500 start-up subsidy plus 25 hours of mentoring. More information about each corporate partner and the mentorship they have to offer is available on our website: www.atlanticbusinessmagazine.com
