SUMMARY:Business Planning with a Purpose
DESCRIPTION:It’s true; there are a lot more fun things to do than write a business plan! But when written with a purpose\, you’ll find that you’ve created a meaningful document that will both drive your business and help mitigate the many unknowns that plague so many new businesses. The more you plan early on and legitimately set the foundation for success\, the better your business will be positioned to grow and scale when faced with unique challenges and opportunities later on. \nThis training is designed for entrepreneurs who are embarking on the journey of writing their very first business plan or individuals who have written one previously and would like to rework it. We hope you’ll join us! \nThe cost of this class is underwritten by SBDC. This course is required for the Business Development Certificate.
