The Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, part of the Florida State University Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, is accepting applications for its Fall 2025 Small Business Executive Program (SBEP) held in South Florida. Offered at no cost to participants, the program is funded by The Jim Moran Foundation and Jan Moran and her late husband, automotive pioneer Jim Moran. The deadline to apply is Monday, March 31.

The SBEP is designed for CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, and presidents of small businesses. Graduates emerge with the skills and training needed to turn challenges into strategic advantages, capitalize on business opportunities, and implement best practice management. Since the Executive Programs’ inception in 2013, the South Florida team has guided and graduated 49 classes representing professionals from a variety of industries.

The SBEP consists of nine sessions, each focusing on a specific aspect of growing and managing a business or nonprofit. Starting in July and running through November, the Fall 2025 sessions are held once every two weeks from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Jim Moran Institute's office in Broward County.

Applicants must be the key decision-maker and actively involved in running their organization. Their company must have been established for at least three years and have three or more employees. Program graduates receive a certificate of completion and can participate in an ongoing peer roundtable. They are also encouraged to participate in workshops, conferences, and other Jim Moran Institute events.
