In what has become a yearly tradition here at BatchBlue, we are once again hosting our Small Business Super Hero Contest. This is our chance to recognize those folks who dare to not only dream, but who also take the leap and fly to build their own businesses.
This really is a favorite time of year for us as we get the chance to read all the great stories and be inspired by those who follow their entrepreneurial spirit and forge out on their own to do great things. We also like to reward their efforts with some cool prizes which this year include:
