Are you an independently-owned business that is retail or service-based in the South Bay (Los Angeles Area)? Do you employ 10 or less full-time workers? Are you active in the community or have local collaborative efforts? There is a grant you could win from Shop Local!
To apply, create a 2-minute (or less) video highlighting what the grant money would be used to help fuel the success of your business. If someone you know could qualify for this grant (maybe even you), click here for more information.
The deadline for entries is September 30th. The finalists are featured in October – which will give more business promotion. There will be three winners who will be eligible for part of the prize package with a current value of over $5,000. This is a small piece of the Small Indie Business Grant Awards, given by ShopLocal.us. The winners are announced at the South Bay Business Mavericks Gala on October 21st.
Not only will the awards ceremony give grant money to the winners, but a panel presentation with local successful business owners will take place as well. The founder of Shop Local is passionate about helping locally owned-businesses (I know her personally). Take the time to complete the application/video and you could be one of this year’s winners!
