Forest Hills Small Businesses Invited to Apply to Be a Part of SLAP In The City – A Year-long Business Growth Program

Silver Lining, Ltd., A NYC-based organization that works with small businesses to help them meet their financial goals, is launching SLAP In The City - a free, year-long program for small businesses and non-profits in NYC.

This program was created for small businesses that may not be able to afford, or know where to find, help in growing their business through a structured (but fun!) program that will guide them for a full year. 

100 small businesses will be chosen to participate in the program and take on the challenge of successfully growing their business in 12 months. 
Throughout the year, they will be helped to  set a financial goal; create the action plan to hit that goal; and receive all of the resources and accountability needed to accomplish that goal. Not to mention a ton of other awesome prizes and perks - like free exposure for their business, being connected with a great mentor to help them over the year, and free training in various areas of running a small business so that they are able to hit their goals! 

To be a part of the program, businesses should submit an application by Thursday, May 1st 2014.
 Applications can be submitted at: http://silverlininglimited.com/slapinthecity-apply/
