LOCAL ENTREPRENEUR WINS HER SECOND AWARD

HOME BASED BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARD-

PRESENTED TO JANICE BYER OF DOCU-TYPE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

CALEDON EAST, ON. --- Janice Byer of Caledon East, Ontario, owner

of Docu-Type Administrative Services (www.docutype.net), has

been honoured with another award for her outstanding achievements

as a home-based entrepreneur. On October 24th, 2000, the

Brampton Small Business Enterprise Centre (SBEC) presented Ms.

Byer with the Home Based Business of the Year Award. The award

was presented during the Brampton Board of Trade's Afterbusiness

networking evening, which followed the Bridges to Better

Business trade fair at the Brampton Sports and Entertainment

Centre.

Byer, who has operated her successful Virtual Assistance and

Website Design company from her home since 1998, was recognized

for her outstanding progress in her home based business through

planning, growth and customer satisfaction; and for her

willingness to assist other entrepreneurs and small business

owners increase their productivity.

The SBEC (www.brampton-business.com) provides resources and

services to help the small business owner/entrepreneur start or

grow a business in Ontario. They work in conjunction with many

corporations, including the City of Brampton, Towns of Caledon &

Orangeville, Brampton Board of Trade, and many more, to make the

transition a smooth one.

"Janice, like so many other home-based business owners,

exemplifies the characteristics needed to be successful", says

Brian Stittle, Small Business Co-ordinator of the SBEC. "Her hard

work and dedication have led to the successful penetration of a

competitive market and for that she is to be congratulated. Her

innovative approach to business is what makes her truly stand

out".

As the recipient of this second award in as many months (Byer was

awarded the Most Successful Start Up 2000 Award from the Pinnacle

Awards for Business Women of Distinction on September 14th), Byer

admits to having a passion for networking with other

entrepreneurs, but also attributes her success to following her

vision and "plain hard work".

"For two years, it has been endless marketing, networking, and

creating professional end-results for my clients", says Byer.

"Winning these two awards proves that hard work pays off, in more

ways than one. I am on top of the world...I love being an

entrepreneur and helping others!"
