What is a Business Plan For?

To begin the course, participants will consider the purpose of a business plan as well as supporting plans.

A General Business Plan Framework

This session will take a closer look at the components of a business plan. Participants will also review their pre-assignment, which asked them to identify the fundamental elements of their business: the company’s values, vision, and mission.

Gathering and Analysing Information

In this session, participants will learn how to gather, read, and analyse information for their business plan.

Defining Your Company
This session focuses on the business elements that need to be defined in the business plan, including the USP (Unique Selling Proposition), company description, product and service descriptions, market analysis, and operations plan.

Getting to Work

At the end of the first day, participants will have an opportunity to start working on their business plan.

Creating a Marketing Strategy

The second day of the course will focus on the elements of a marketing strategy, including competitive analysis, distribution channel analysis, marketing plans, and social media.

Creating the Sales Plan

Next, participants will learn about building their sales force and the sales cycle.

Developing Financial Projections

This session will introduce participants to accounting terminology, generally accepted accounting principles, and financial reports. Participants will also learn how to bring everything together to create financial projections.

Putting It All Together

The final portion of the course will cover writing the executive summary, making a strong presentation, and putting the finishing touches on the plan. Participants will also have some time to work on their own business plan.
