Are you starting a new small business? Thinking of operating your own home based business?
If you answered yes to either of those questions, you need to learn how to prepare a business plan.
Would you set out on the highway without a road map? Of course not, nor would a lender or investors risk it with someone unable to demonstrate an understanding of industry and market forces affecting its potential.
A business plan provides three major benefits whose importance should not be minimized:
• It is a prerequisite to obtaining capital investors • It is preferred by conventional financial institutions • It provides an underlying strategy for management, operations and future growth
What you will learn: You will learn how to gather market and industry data, how to develop a market strategy, how to develop a contingency plan, and how to prepare financial statements and projections. A challenging format will help guide you from start through to completion.
Outcome: Attendees will be able to speak confidently to lenders and investors regarding data which supports the potential for success. Students will become knowledgeable about their specific target market and how to reach customers. Entrepreneurs will have the credibility to provide needed leadership and attract a successful team.
