50-hour course covers all the main topics of business planning, including: - market planning (pricing, identifying the ideal customer, marketing channels, competition & industry), - financial planning (financial statements, basic accounting concepts, cash flow planning), - operations (legal entity, taxes, record keeping, operational systems, liability & insurance), - and more in a series of classes over an 8 week period. Participants gain practical, hands-on experience in developing a business plan. Trainers create an atmosphere of trust where sharing is encouraged and creative problem-solving can occur. Participants learn how to effectively give and receive honest feedback, improve their financial literacy skills, confidence, and self-esteem, and the business knowledge they need to take the next step with their entrepreneurial goals.
