Lake County Economic Development partners with Florida Virtual Entrepreneur Center

As an entrepreneur, one of the most common challenges is finding the right resources to start, grow or relocate a business. Though it can be difficult to apply for licenses, secure venture capital, connect with other entrepreneurs or gain publicity, those challenges are now easier, thanks to the Florida High Tech Corridor Council’s Florida Virtual Entrepreneur Center at www.flvec.com.

The FLVEC website offers business owners in Lake County access to a curated database of local and statewide resources, including help with licenses, business mentoring and coaching, networking, venture capital and much more.

“The FLVEC is of value for entrepreneurs as it heightens the awareness of its member services in the Lake County area.  Networking with other entrepreneurs has opened doors for future referral opportunities,” said Wendy Taylor, founder of Strategic Online Marketing in Sorrento.

Serving all 67 counties in Florida, FLVEC is made possible by the Florida High Tech Corridor Council and sponsors across the state, including Lake County Economic Development.
