The Citrus County Chamber is excited to let you know about a NEW – SPECIAL – FREE service that is NOW available to local small business entrepreneurs. 

The Florida Virtual Entrepreneur Center (FLVEC) is an innovative service for local businesses.  The FLVEC is a regional economic development initiative of the University of Central Florida, the University of South Florida and the University of Florida. 

Their service can help you and your business be found easier on the internet. The FLVEC maintains a searchable database of Florida based businesses that can be searched by County, Industry, Name, and more.  

Here is how it works. Visit FLVEC.COM and click on the menu bars at the upper right corner of the home page. Then click on “Sign Up” as an Entrepreneur. Fill out the Application and submit it to the FLVEC. 

You will get a phone call from a member of their staff who will conduct a short interview with you about you and your business. They will write an article based on the interview, which will be sent to you for approval. Once it is approved, you, your profile and your business will be listed on the FLVEC site.

This is a very powerful backlink to your website. It will help you to be found on web search engines like Google. Additionally, their searchable database will help customers, clients, suppliers and others find you and your business.

It is through the partnership of the Citrus County Chamber, CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion, Citrus County Building Alliance, Citrus County Realtors Association, the Economic Development Authority for Citrus County, Citrus County Economic Development Department, Rebecca Martin and SCORE Nature Coast FL that we are able to provide the services of the FLVEC to you for FREE.  

You do not need to be a Chamber member to participate in FLVEC. We hope you will take advantage of this very special opportunity.
