Business Accelerator Bootcamp (All 3 Workshops)

Course Description: The Business Accelerator Bootcamp offers foundational and practical concepts for business, financial, and marketing planning. The three classes in the series include: • Business planning workshop: Students will learn common planning considerations of successful owners who start or expand a business. They will start drafting these sections of their business plan: Executive Summary, Goals, and Value Proposition. • Marketing planning workshop: It will be all about their customers. They will explore what will entice and connect them through targeted marketing, outreach, and relationship building efforts. They will start drafting the Marketing section of their business plan. • Financial planning workshop: They will focus on common indicators that business owners use to gauge and track the financial health of their business: financial reports and projections, cost of goods/services sold, operating costs, and pricing. They will start drafting the Financial and Operations sections of their business plan. In between the series’ workshops, 1-on-1 sessions with a business advisor will help them further consider and apply the concepts learned in the workshops to their business plan and develop the next action steps for moving forward to start the business or launch the expansion.
