Create a Damn Good Business Plan !?
Learn how to create a business plan using our step by step by step methodology.
A great workshop with step by step explanations and templates for you to create, develop and write a great business plan.
"How to create a Damn Good Business Plan?!" is a complete course that includes 2 parts:
- Part 1: Visual and Simple Business Analysis
- Part 2: Think, Develop and Write your Business Plan
The course provides a framework for you to analyze the external environment of your business (existing or in creation) and develop a state of the art Business Plan.
The course includes short videos for each section and a set of templates that you can print and use, as well as excel templates.
It is VISUAL and SIMPLE. No complex graphs, math... Just a tool for reflection. You will be using templates and post-it for you to record you thinking process.
It's much more than a course because you are creating an output (your analysis and your plan). Therefore it looks more like a workshop than a lecture. You won't just sit back and wait as you are asked to actively create your output.
You don't need any business background to take this course. Although, we advise you to get the help of an accountant for the financial part if you never learn accounting.
Optional:
If you need an extra help:
- You can get for extra coaching
- You can ask for a business plan review and get feedback
- If you ask for a review and you successfully meet our criteria (at least 60%), you will earn a "Certificate in Business Planning For SME"
- We also offer writing services based on what you send us
