Have you been thinking about starting a business or are an early-stage small business owner but are feeling a bit overwhelmed about where to start and what the critical steps are? In this one-session workshop, we will introduce you to the basic steps and some fundamental tools for evaluating your business idea and developing a plan to move forward. The workshop will cover using the Business Model Canvas to map out the key components of your business; how to assemble a Business Plan that meets your needs and the needs of your potential investors or lenders; how to forecast a realistic expectation for your business’ revenues and expenses; and an overview the basic mechanics of establishing a company and registering it with the IRS, State, and local municipalities.

The workshop will cover a lot of information which may seem daunting in such a short time frame. But we won’t leave you on your own. The Boulder SBDC is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs start and grow their business. Our consultants are available to meet with you one-on-one in a confidential and no-cost setting to help you finalize your plans and gain a greater understanding of any of the material covered in the workshop.

The Colorado Small Business Development Center Network (SBDC) is funded through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBDC Network is a partnership between the State of Colorado, Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the Small Business Administration (SBA), Colorado’s institutions of higher education, local economic development organizations and local chambers of commerce.
