Tallahassee, Fla. — Offered by the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship in Florida State University’s College of Business, the application deadline for the upcoming Small Business Executive Program (SBEP) in Tallahassee is Friday, July 31. CEOs and small business owners operating for three years or more and with five or more employees are eligible to apply. All applications must be received by 11:59 P.M. on July 31 to be considered.
“We highly encourage small business owners in Tallahassee to apply now that operating a business has become even more challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mike Campbell, director of North Florida Operations at the Jim Moran Institute. “Class speakers will cover planning and strategic resources focused on COVID-19 related issues, along with additional tools to help businesses grow and sustain their operations during this period of uncertainty.”

The SBEP helps for-profit business leaders work on their businesses while accommodating their busy schedules. Participants learn the Business Model Canvas and are given other tools to emerge as stronger leaders ready to capitalize on business opportunities. They also are exposed to industry experts in marketing, exit strategy, financial analysis and other important business topics.
A total of 24 participants from non-competing businesses will be accepted into the four-month program. Sessions are four hours each and take place one afternoon a month. The first session starts Aug. 18 and the program runs through Nov. 17. The Jim Moran Institute will begin implementing an in-person Reopening Plan on August 1, 2020. The organization will follow the guidance of college, university, local, state, and federal officials in each satellite location to maintain the health and safety of clients, staff, volunteers and guests. The fluidity of the situation is likely to require continuing flexibility. All program schedules and formats are subject to change and will be revised as needed.
Offered at no cost to participants, the program is funded by The Jim Moran Foundation and Jim and Jan Moran.
