THE COMPLETE (& EASY) BUSINESS PLAN WRITING COURSE

THURSDAYs  |  MARCH 23 – MAY 11
6:30 – 8 PM ET

Every successful business has a lot of effective planning behind it. Whether launching a completely new business or a relaunching an existing one, a comprehensive business plan — a crucial yet often overlooked document — can save you from making costly mistakes that deplete your time, energy and resources. We will take the confusion out of business plan writing by breaking it down into simple steps. By the end of this class, you will have a completed business plan and completed financials.

Small business entrepreneurs mostly work “in” the business. This eight-week in-person class time will allow small business entrepreneurs to focus “on” the business.

This program is for geared towards active business owners. Space is limited. Access to the internet, a computer and/or mobile device is required. Apply now!
