Business Planning

Business planning is a critical process in preparing to launch a business or venture. Students focus on “how to” techniques in the development of business plans. They learn what investors and lenders look for in a business plan, how to analyze and improve a business plan, how to assess the feasibility of a business, and how to apply tools and resources to perform research and create and analyze a business opportunity. Students work in teams to have the opportunity to develop a comprehensive business plan and elevator pitch.
