Joseph Meuse, founder and managing director of Belmont Partners, LLC, the Virginia-based financial consulting firm, believes the future is bright for entrepreneurs who choose to act now.  Amid today’s news reports and headlines asserting that the financial structures that underpin America’s financial security have been torn asunder, he remains a forward-thinking optimist.  An entrepreneur himself, Meuse dared to act upon his innovative idea to build the premier financial consulting firm. The result: Belmont Partners was launched, grew rapidly, and is now competing with giants of the international financial community.

During the current global economic downturn and credit crunch, Mr. Meuse feels that dreamers and risk takers may have abandoned hope that funding is attainable from any source.  Responding to this concern, Belmont Partners will offer three entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to promote their vision to the right audience.  Proactive entrepreneurs may submit a comprehensive business plan to Belmont Partners through their secure website belmontpartners.net.  Only the first 30 business plans submitted will be considered.  The deadline for submission is 5:00 p.m. EST, Friday, April 18, 2008.

Belmont Partners constantly reviews business plans for new enterprises, and has already begun reviewing recent submissions. There are no parameters on the types of industries that can apply. Diversity is a key strength of growth. Thus, Belmont Partners is willing to consider any plans with a visionary stance, regardless of the area of impact.

The three entrepreneurs with winning business plans will:

• Be Belmont Partners’ guests at their 2008 Alternative Public Strategies Conference on May 8th at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. A stimulating highlight of the conference will be “A Conversation With Alan Greenspan,” in which the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board will engage the attendees from the professional investment community and will take unscripted questions from the audience.
• Occupy exclusive exhibit space in the conference’s main foyer of the Grand Hyatt to display their business plans and marketing materials.
• Gain personal access to the nation’s leading investors, business attorneys, and dealmakers throughout the conference.

To qualify as one of the top three candidates, it is vital that your business plan:

• Be concise, candid, and credible.
• Contain an Executive Summary that makes a convincing case for your product or service.
• State clearly what unmet need in the marketplace your product or service will remedy.
• Have excellent resumes and references for the management team.
• Enumerate the business issues it will address.

A company starts with an idea, a dream, a belief that what you offer will be a solution, fulfill a need, improve a process, change lives, provide a better future, and create something that feeds your soul.  If you believe your entrepreneurial concept brings this passion to the marketplace, then submit your business plan for consideration by Belmont Partners.
