The Small Business Center of Haywood Community College will offer a free seminar entitled “Business Plan Basics” on Tuesday, February 17, from 6-9 p.m. at the Regional High Technology Center in the Waynesville Industrial Park. Participants of Business Plan Basics will be able to study the steps to actually writing a plan and learn how to cover what is really needed in a short but useable plan. An effective business plan serves at least four goals:
- It helps you focus your ideas
- It creates a track for you to follow in the early stages of business growth
- It creates benchmarks against which you can measure your progress
- It provides a document for attracting equity or debt financing
This workshop will provide you with an interactive, hands-on, step-by-step primer to guide you through the process of creating an effective business plan. Learn what a good plan must include and discover how it can bring together goals, plans, strategies and resources for your business. Examine how a good business plan can minimize risk and save you from significant financial and professional losses resulting from an unprofitable business.
Tom Fleckenstein, a business counselor with the Small Business Technology Development Center (SBTDC) in Cullowhee, will lead this workshop. To preregister for this free seminar, call the Small Business Center at 627-4512.
