Al Duessler Wins Award for Best Business Plan

Al Duessler is the winner of the $1,200 cash award for the best business plan originating from the 15th annual Door County Entrepreneurial Training Program course conducted earlier this year by the Door County Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC).

Duessler and his future business partner Bryan Kuehn are currently employed at a property management company in Door County that specializes in accounting and property management for residential condominium associations. Duessler’s plan involved evaluating and identifying the current market conditions and operational efficiencies to provide a strategy to eventually purchase and grow the business where they are employed. He wrote that the mission of their management firm is to provide industry-leading systematic management approaches to operate condominium associations in a professional and stress-free manner, calling itself “the aspirin for operational headaches.”

Duessler was among the 19 students representing 14 start-up or existing local businesses in the class.

“Al wrote an outstanding plan, focused on increasing operational efficiency and growing their business to the next level,” said DCEDC Executive Director Bill Chaudoir. “His plan received some of the highest grades we have ever seen from our judges.”

The $1,200 award was generously sponsored by Associated Bank, Bank of Luxemburg, FirstMerit Bank and Nicolet National Bank. The award is to be used for business expenses. The Entrepreneurial Training Program course will again be offered in Door County beginning January 2017. For more information call 920.743.3113 or visit doorcountybusiness.com.
