It is recommended that business owners or potential business owners have a business plan. This seminar will teach the basics of how to come up with the numbers that are in your business plan. It is a great guide for the day- to-day operations of your business; however, it is mandatory if you want to borrow money from a bank. Be proactive instead of reactive. Remember, an ounce of prevention is cheaper than a pound of cure. Come ready to start writing your plan.
This seminar will also allow you to refresh yourself if you already have the basics of writing a business plan.
