Entrepreneurs that aspire to start a business should begin the process of writing a business plan. Many business planning templates/tools are available such as, Lean Startup; however, banks and investors will not accept anything but a traditional business plan and thus why SBDCs assist clients with developing one. The seminar walks attendees through the components of the business plan including: concept feasibility, product/service description, market analysis/program, operations and organization, financial plan, business financing, choosing a business name and structure, registering your business for taxes, registering for permits/licenses, and obtaining insurance. A box lunch will be provided along with educational materials.

This workshop is hosted by the Illinois SBDC/ITC @ IL Wesleyan University.
