Business Planning for New Entrepreneurs: From 'Idea to Open' in Record Time

Working on your business plan? Confused about where to start – or how to finish? Writing a business plan is about much more than filling in a template. To get that business loan and create a guide that actually helps you launch and grow your company, you need to understand how to make the best decisions for your new company. Every part of your business affects all the other parts, and businesses rarely grow in a straight line – so why are you trying to write your business plan that way?

We'll show you how to write a business plan - while offering you free support and resources for your business that you can apply right away.

Join us for an evening of learning and inspiration, where we’ll help you learn to think like a business owner and answer the tough questions about your business – so you can confidently write your business plan and use it to get the financing you need to start or grow your business. We’ll cover five big topics that you need to know inside and out to be able to write a business plan to wow the banks. These topics are:

• The Customers
• The Industry
• The People
• The Money
• The Format

When you understand these five elements and how they fit together, you’ll be well prepared to write your own business plan and save thousands on consulting fees.

We'll show you how to tackle the task of writing a business plan and make it easy to understand, simple to complete, and ready for the banks to evaluate. During the workshop, we'll explain all of the essential elements of a business plan and why they need to be there, as well as get you started on some exercises to help you write your plan. By the time you leave, you'll have a great start on your business plan and be that much closer to launching your dream company.

What past attendees say

"Jessica really knows her stuff! Her and wealth of knowledge (and entertaining wit!) sent me home armed with clear direction for starting and editing a better business plan."

"The Idea to Open Business Planning Workshop was very helpful. It can be overwhelming and confusing to write a business plan with no prior experience. Going through the creative steps that Jessica provided, and being able to ask questions was confidence building."

"I am very happy to realize that I can have my own business even if I can't fulfill all the roles on my own."
