Business Opportunity Grant

If you are an entrepreneur, an innovator or a small business owner, you need to pay close attention. British Airways wants you to meet your business opportunities face-to-face, by giving you a year’s worth of free travel and business benefits!

With the economy still on the downturn, it’s more difficult than ever for you to make ends meet. You end up conducting important meetings via telephone, email and even instant messenger. But there are times that those mediums just won’t suffice. You really need that human contact at times – the handshake to seal the deal, the smile on your face to show you’re genuine. If you’ve ever been involved in a physical business meeting, you know that having one from two separate locations just doesn’t begin to compare.

They will be giving away one hundred – 100! – grants to businesses to help facilitate their business goals. All you need to do to apply is to tell them about your company and your goals for next year. The winners will have all of 2010 to use their grant to help their business realize its goals for the year. The winners will each receive:

• British Airways airfare for 10 round-trip Club World business class flights.
• 5 free British Airways World Cargo freight shipments of up to 500 kilos to worldwide destinations.
• $1000.00 toward accommodation at Courtyard by Marriott hotels.
• 5 Regus Businessworld Gold Cards, providing access to business lounges worldwide.
• Canon PIXMA MX860 Wireless Office All-In-One Printer.

I’m a small business owner myself, and meeting people face-to-face is critical for me – just as it is for you. I know it’s not easy to manage all of the expenses involved with traveling. I had to cut out a few planned conferences and trips myself this year, too! Don’t let lack of funding keep you from making those important contacts. Take a few moments and apply for this Business Opportunity Grant. I have a feeling you could be very very happy you did.

I have to thank British Airways for sponsoring this grant opportunity, and for reaching out to our community to offer promotion of it. I know for a fact we have many small business owners amongst our group, many of whom will really benefit from a break like this! Good luck to everyone!
