What goals must be accomplished during this third quarter?
The innovative "Sip and Submit: Boost Your Business Brunch" is a year-long program aimed at empowering minority, veteran, and women entrepreneurs in South Florida.
In this group but intimate, professional setting, we guide you through the complete Florida business certification process while you enjoy brunch and networking opportunities with like-minded business owners and small business resource partners.
During this brunch, you'll receive hands-on assistance with your certification application, access to essential resources including notary services, and multilingual support (English, Spanish, Kreyol, and ASL). Our experienced team and partners will be there every step of the way, ensuring you leave with your certification application completed and submitted. Once submitted, you should receive your certification within 30-60 days and it is valid for two years!

Wow—what a journey! Over the past six months, our Sip & Submit Brunch series empowered more than 50 small-business owners to earn their Florida Women- or Minority-Owned Business certifications. Thank you to every attendee, supporter, and newcomer who helped make each session inspiring and impactful. We’re pausing the series for now, but stay tuned—we’ll be back in 2026 with fresh resources, new connections, and the same commitment to helping small businesses thrive!
