ActiVacant: The American Dream

Imagine having the freedom to do what you want, when you want, all while providing for your family. Do you have a big idea, and are just waiting to implement it? Now is the time to control your destiny. You can be your own boss.

Opening up a business takes passion, determination, and the willingness to take risks. That determination has propelled this nation into greatness. It is an attitude of making up new rules that is reflected in the new program called ActiVacant that will help new businesses get their feet off the ground.

ActiVacant will have five businesses open simultaneously within three blocks, so you're never alone. Getting the doors open is hard work. Until then, there's no enjoying the fruits of your labor. That's why the "ActiVators" will get the first three months of rent for free. From there, rent will grow incrementally to market value over the first year. This enables ActiVators to focus on what's important- the business reaching its full potential.

It takes a village. So when ActiVators work together, there will be cash bonuses over the next three years. There will even be a small documentary that shares the ActiVators' stories. There is no community greater at following the American Dream than Collinwood. By becoming an ActiVator, you will join a neighborhood rich in history, yet excited about the future. In the land of opportunity, you can achieve anything you put your mind to. Dare to dream big, and dare to put that dream into action.

If you are ready to open your business and reap the rewards of your efforts, go to www.activacant.com  to complete your application.
