Business Plans in the Real World
Experts say anyone starting a business should have a business plan. SCORE has templates and advice for creating business plans, and SCORE mentors almost insist that clients have business plans. Is a business plan really necessary? What advice do experienced entrepreneurs have for those starting out? What are some pitfalls to avoid? Are there any shortcuts? Where can entrepreneurs find data? What if we're not accountants? What works, and what doesn't work? No matter where you are in the process, you can probably contribute ideas and gain some ideas in this discussion.
SCORE Business Roundtables are moderated open discussions addressing issues faced by entrepreneurs and business owners who attend. You can use these Roundtable discussions as an advisory group to gain new insights, different perspectives and discover new techniques that will help you in your business. Participants will come away better prepared to start up or manage a business. Please register with SCORE here : bit.ly/SCOREBusinessPlans
