Portland, OR

I just received an email from Intuit that is well worth sharing with everyone. Feel free to pass this information along to any business owners you know. It applies to established businesses looking for help expanding as well as for newer businesses just getting started.

Intuit News Central has posted a new item,

‘Intuit^® Invests in Building Biz for Startups‘

As an official sponsor of the Startup America Partnership, Intuit^® is investing $37 million in products and services to promote high-growth entrepreneurship across the country. That’s good for your clients, some of whom may qualify for the Startup America Success Kit.

Intuit’s commitments include special offers and pricing over a 3-year period for Intuit products and services, including QuickBooks^® Online, Intuit Payroll Services, QuickBooks Merchant Services and Intuit Websites. These offers will become available to Startup America Partnership member companies.

Startup America’s Success Kit gives startups access to talent, customers, capital, and more. Startups will be categorized into either the Idea phase, Startup, Rampup, or Speedup. All an entrepreneur needs to register is the following information:

• Year founded: the company must be founded in 2006 or later to qualify as a “Startup,” and 2001 or later to qualify as a “Rampup or Speedup.”
• Employer Identification Number and Founder/Employee Count: the company must have a minimum of two employees to qualify as a Startup, and at least six employees to qualify as a Rampup.
• Revenue information.
• Company website.
• LinkedIn Company URL and Personal LinkedIn URL.

If anyone you know meets the registration criteria, please share this link with them to get started.
