Develop A Winning Business Plan

Description

A business plan is an important document for raising start-up capital, monitor progress, and achieving goals. It is a "living" document and tool that will help manage the business beyond start-up. This workshop will help individuals prepare a realistic plan that will document visions, goals and strategies.  The key is an understanding of what should be included and how to capture the reader's interest concisely.
