The most important task in starting a new business or growing an existing business is the business plan. No lender will discuss financing without one. Without a well thought out, written business plan, many small businesses may be doomed to failure. This seminar is designed to explain exactly what goes into a business plan, why, and how to properly manage from it. Research techniques are also covered. For those who decide to continue, your Community College Small Business Center counselor will work with you on on-one basis until the plan is complete.
