JCI launches 10th annual best business plan competition

Junior Chamber International Malta recently launched the 10th edition of its annual Best Business Plan Competition.

Supported by HSBC Bank Malta plc and KPMG, the competition is open to people aged 18 to 40 who want to develop their business ideas individually or as a group of four.

To qualify for the competition business plans must be for new start-ups or businesses that have been legally established on or after June 1, 2010.

Established in 1994, JCI Malta is part of Junior Chamber International, an independent worldwide community of nearly 200,000 young active citizens in over 120 countries.

JCI provides young entrepreneurs with the tools and opportunities to turn an idea into a viable business plan.

A plan is fundamental to help build a successful venture. As part of the BBP competition, training sessions on researching and writing business plans.

Guidance sessions will also be organised to support and guide professionals and provide feedback on the business plan so that it is more professional.

Applications and business plan proposals are to be submitted by April 4.
