Resources

Every business needs help getting started. Students in JC FLEX must have a school system mentor to guide them. Those who make it to Round 2 will also be assigned a business mentor. In addition to these two individuals, we thought the following resources would be helpful to all teams as they begin their respective businesses. We wish you all the best in making your dream business a reality!

Small Business Administration:
