Getting your business idea of the ground is a real challenge in today's tough economic climate. Tough times mean you need to be truly well prepared to answer the questions of potential investors, banks, and even your family if you are to invest in a new venture.
This course will help you develop your business proposition, enabling you to evaluate its commercial viability, and identify and plan for the resources and actions you need to develop your business.
About this course
The purpose of this course is to help you think about your business idea and perform an initial business feasibility analysis. The course will guide you through consideration of market, management, and money questions. To analyze these areas adequately will take significant time and effort, but your work will pay off many times over.
We begin this course with helping you evaluate the market demand for your business concept, and the intensity of the competition for your business concept.
We then help you look at the commercial potential for the business, and the viability of your business model. We go to look in some detail at the financial factors, such a start-up costs, sales potential and break even, and the all-important cash flow forecast.
