SBA Unveils New Teen Web Site Aimed At Young Entrepreneurs;
Announces Winner of Youth Business Plan Competition
ORLANDO 3-19-2004 - The U.S. Small Business Administration announced earlier this
week the unveiling of its new teen entrepreneur Web site to target young
entrepreneurs who want to start, run or grow their own businesses, and
today announced the winners of the Young Entrepreneur Program Business Plan
Competition.
The launch of the Young Entrepreneur Online Guide to Business, at
http://www.sba.gov/teens, was made during the kick off of the Young
Entrepreneur Program, a two-day forum for young entrepreneurs to provide
practical entrepreneurial training and to promote leadership and management
skill building.
The announcement of the new Web site was made by Cheryl A. Mills, associate
deputy administrator for Entrepreneurial Development for the SBA. The Web
site will provide young entrepreneurs with a learning tool to help them
succeed in the 21st century world of small business. It is designed to
introduce teenagers to the concept of small business ownership as a viable
career choice by helping them shape their dreams of entrepreneurship.
"Young minds of today will be the force for business growth and job
creation in the future," said Mills. "The spirit of enterprise is the most
powerful economic force in the nation, and the SBA wants to be a partner
for success."
The Web site features small business basics from brainstorming to
evaluating a business idea, developing a business plan, learning from
successful young entrepreneurs, making wise financial decisions and access
to SBA's entrepreneurial development partners and services.
Other highlights of the Web site include information on legal issues that
need to be addressed when starting a business, links to youth organizations
that concentrate on youth entrepreneurship and links to mentoring and peer
groups.
In a related announcement, SBA Administrator Hector V. Barreto revealed the
winners of the Young Entrepreneur Program Business Plan Competition. First
place went to Micha and Michael Cooper of Brooklyn, N.Y., for their plan
for their travel and concierge service. Second place was awarded to Jan
Baker of Bronx, N.Y., for her plan for an urban greeting card company.
The third place winner was Samir Mastaki of Ravenna, Italy, for his
business plan for a cellular phone rental service company for international
travelers.
Out of 50 teens that took part in the two-day small business forum, the
three business plans were selected by judges to receive top honors for the
best overall plans.
Administrator Barreto made the announcement before an audience at the
opening reception of SBA Expo '04: Celebrating National Small Business Week
in Orlando, Fla.
"The new teen Web site will provide a useful tool about the business world
to young people," said Administrator Barreto. "It is never too early to
spark the entrepreneurial spirit and instill optimism in our youth. Access
to key small business information is essential to the future of our young
people and to their full participation in our nation's economy."
The six business plan challengers were each given 15 minutes to make their
presentations before the judging panel, which represented varying
disciplines and backgrounds.
The Young Entrepreneur Program participants will take part in SBA Expo '04,
May 19-21 at the Orange County Convention Center. They will gain exposure
to additional forums and network with successful business owners, corporate
executives and government officials.

schedule of events, visit www.sba.gov.
