How to write a Business Plan
Course Description
The number one mistake
people make in starting a new business is that they fail to write a business
plan. Without a written set of plans and directions, a new business will
struggle on many levels. You may find yourself struggling with small things
that have simple solutions and for which the answers are easy to implement. But
if your plan is not written, then you don't have a clear vision in a very
literal sense of the word.
A well written business plan takes time, patience,
detail, research, and a right approach to presentation. This course will walk
you through the process of writing your business plan. You will learn why
certain details are vitally important, which parts of your business plan can
make or break your finance query with investors, and how to sharpen your public
presentation of your company and its business.
You will also learn some writing tricks to help you
create a polished written plan without necessarily having to hire someone to
write it for you. At the end of this course, you should have enough information
to make a well informed effort in writing your business plan.
