Starting a business is an act of hope and optimism. The MOBI Starting a Business course is designed to give you all the knowledge and skills you need to choose, plan, and launch a new business.
After you learn how to select the best business for you, we show you how to formalize, finance, organize, and market your new business. In addition, Starting a Business includes special sessions on controlling risk, selling, accounting, and making ethical decisions.
There are 15 sessions, or topics, that you can pursue at your own pace, with step-by-step information and the essentials you need to know to start your business. This course will also teach you how to write a business plan, and it includes MOBI’s free downloadable Business Plan Template. Let’s get started!
