Small Business, Big Dreams Contest
At Rockland Trust, we know that behind every small business is a big dream—and we want to help bring yours to life!
Plus, two additional finalists will each receive $5,000 to support their business goals.*
There are two steps to the Small Business, Big Dreams Contest application process:
Step 1: You must qualify! Once you’ve reviewed the Official Contest Rules, beginning March 2nd, you can take the qualification survey by clicking the ‘Get Started’ button.
Step 2: If your business qualifies, you will complete a written business overview with detailed responses to the questions requested by Rockland Trust. We ask that submission be no longer than five (5) pages to be considered.
You’ve submitted your entry. Now what?
Rockland Trust will select and interview eight (8) semifinalists. Based on these interviews, three (3) finalists will be selected and partnered with a Rockland Trust business banker to develop a business plan for review by our panel of judges. The panel will deliberate and select one lucky business owner to be the winner of the $25,000 grand prize! Both runners-up will each receive $5,000.
