Creating Your Own Business Plan
This seminar is designed to introduce the participants to the basics of planning a successful business by creating a Business Plan. A Business Plan defines the business, identifies goals, and serves as a firm's resume. The basic components include a current and pro forma balance sheet, an income statement, and a cash flow analysis. It helps allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen complications, and make good business decisions. Because it provides specific and organized information about the
company and how you will repay borrowed money, a good business plan is a crucial part of any loan application.
