Vision 21 Announces Grand Opening

LAKEWOOD, Ohio, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lakewood, Ohio entrepreneurs will now have access to a new business center for collaboration, business growth and professional office resources.  

Vision 21, a new virtual and shared office facility created for Lakewood and Northeast Ohio entrepreneurs will hold a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony provided by the Lakewood Ohio Chamber of Commerce, on Tuesday, January 25, 2011 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.  Vision 21 is located at 1495 Warren Road, just off Detroit Avenue in downtown Lakewood.  The celebration will include an open tour of the facility and resources, meet and greet, and refreshments.  

The mission of Vision 21 is to "provide aspiring entrepreneurs a space to successfully launch and grow their business enterprise with access to business tools and support needed".  The company's 2500 square foot office space features several private or cubical-style offices for daily and monthly rent, a fully-equipped conference room available by the hour, contract administrative and marketing support, an identifiable business address and access to other nearby resources.  Tenants and virtual tenants can also benefit from networking opportunities, workshops, and collaborative activities.

The venture stems from a growing need in the Cleveland area for entrepreneurs to take the next step from home-based businesses to professional office and meeting space and support without incurring costly fixed expenses.

"We are excited to offer these resources," stated Dave Clements, President of Vision 21.  Nurturing small businesses is one of the most effective ways we can ensure positive economic growth for our region and Vision 21 makes these tools very accessible."

Clements, a small business advisor, works with emerging businesses and organizations in the area of human resources, growth, funding and marketing in the Cleveland area and across the country.
