Do you have a startup business? How to win $10,000 for your new business

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If you're an entrepreneur with a startup business, you can win up to $10,000 in help from the City of Houston.

So what defines a "startup?" Well, you have to have either a developed business idea or a business for less than one year that's made less than $10,000.

It's all part of the Sixth Annual "Liftoff Houston Business Plan Competition." The workshops and presentations take place over a five-month period.

Participants will learn everything from how to write a business plan, to how to get access to capital. At the end of that time, three awards for $10,000 will be given out.

You must live within the Houston city limits, and your business must operate within city limits, too.
