CHELSEA, Mich., April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting (BBCetc) has been selected as one of the 2021 awardees for the Michigan 50 Companies to Watch award, presented by Michigan Celebrates Small Business. BBCetc will be honored at an awards ceremony during the 17th annual Michigan Celebrates Small Business gala event, July 20.

"We are enormously proud to be a Michigan company. Our clients are from many other parts of the country, but Michigan is where we started."
BBCetc has been designated an all-agency SBIR/STTR support organization for the state of Michigan since 2002, and Michigan companies directly assisted by BBCetc have been awarded $300+ million in SBIR/STTR funding.
"Small businesses create significant economic impact in communities all across Michigan, said Josh Hundt, Chief Business Development Officer and Executive Vice President at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. "We are excited to acknowledge and celebrate more than 80 small businesses this year who have been selected by their peers, communities and small business support organizations and demonstrate the resiliency and impact of Michigan small businesses."
