The cohort will build comprehensive business plans that will help with attaining capital, but will also learn about market research, financial projects, cash flow and strategic planning. Cohort members will be eligible to access resources in Initiate, Northern Initiatives’ online learning portal usually available only by subscription. By the end of the course, entrepreneurs will have a solid roadmap to launch or grow a business successfully.
“Developing a business plan is the first step, but it often leads to so many other steps, and we will cover all those steps as well,” said Jody Lindberg, U.P. Business Coach for Northern Initiatives. “As we work through our plans, we learn about projections, legal issues, marketing, and more, because all of those are part of planning a business.”
