SCORE: Advanced Business Plan Writing (Online)

Aug 10 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Advanced Business Plan Writing

Why a Business Plan is Important…

Writing and updating a Business Plan helps you organize your thoughts and assumptions about your business and write them down in an organized way.

You SHOULD use this as a checklist on an ongoing basis in managing your business. By documenting assumptions and milestones you can adjust actions to take to better manage your business.

If you want to get a loan or raise money, the Business Plan is REQUIRED by any lender.

A business plan is very specific to each particular business. However, while each business needs a unique plan, the basic elements are the same in all business plans.

If you are currently writing and/or updating your business plan but found it to be a little challenging or not sure what to do next, then this webinar can help you move forward.

By using the provided template, that will be illustrated during the live webinar, this will assist you in making sure that you are thinking about all the things you should be doing while managing your business.

At the completion of this module, you should be able to:

Describe the importance of a business plan
Identify the elements of an effective business plan, and..
Write YOUR successful business plan

We encourage you to prepare any questions that you may have ahead of time for the Instructor to address. This way, they will be able to answer your direct concerns that pertain to your particular business.

SBA Certification Matrix & Selling to the Government

The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that by 2050, 55 percent of the population will be composed of minorities. This means that our small businesses will be more diverse, and inclusion will be a critical component of business. The federal government and many corporations remain committed to do the right thing through greater diversity and inclusion of suppliers. This workshop explores certifications at the corporate, federal, state, and local government levels. You will also learn how to utilize them to improve your bottom line.
