Business Plan 101
During this 2-hour event, we will be discussing tips on creating a business plan that offers several benefits to entrepreneurs and business owners.
Topics include:
• The process of thinking and writing the plan provides clarity for the business.
• If capital is needed from outside sources, investors want to see a plan that demonstrates a solid understanding and vision for the business.
• The plan will help prioritize tasks that are most important.
• With growth, the plan will offer a common understanding of the vision to new leaders.
A simple business plan for a start-up service company can be completed rather quickly. Keeping in mind who the intended audience is, write simply.
The plan needs to be understandable, readable, and realistic. We are here to guide you through the process.
