NORTH CENTRAL IOWA ALLIANCE ANNOUNCES FIRST-IN-THE-NATION

ENTREPRENEUR HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM

 

A visionary, first-in-the-nation program created by the North Central Iowa Alliance (NCIA) will help startup businesses decrease health insurance costs, removing a major roadblock for people who want to start their own business.  The Helping Entrepreneurs Launch Program at North Central Iowa (HELP @ NCI) provides money for health insurance to qualified entrepreneurs in the region for up to their first three years in business.

While funding for insurance is provided at no cost to the entrepreneur, he or she will be aware of the true cost so that it can be reflected in their business plan. Participating entrepreneurs will be required to reside in Iowa as well as maintain the principal headquarters and operations of their company in the contributing counties in Iowa for the duration of their participation in the program.
