Business Plan Basics (virtual)

Maryland Small Business Development Center

Learn the basic elements of a well written business plan that will help define your business idea, evaluate your competition, analyze risks and estimate costs.

No matter what kind of business you are starting, it is important to create a business plan. Your business plan will be your road map to success--your GPS! It communicates your understanding of the business and makes reasonable assumptions and forecasts of sales, expenses, and cash flow. A well written business plan will help you define your business idea, evaluate your competition, analyze risks and estimate costs. This session will provide the learner the components necessary to include in your business plan and the specifics that are really required and necessary. Presenter, Maryland SBDC
