The Business Plan

The business plan is the blueprint for your business, the who, what, where, when, how, and why. It provides a single place to keep all your ideas, the roadmap that will help you pursue these ideas, and the overview so that you can share your vision with others. In this session you learn about business plans, including the key elements of a business plan, ways you can use your business plan, and best practices to write your business plan.

Freelance, Independent, and Home-Based Businesses

You don’t need a traditional office space to start a business.  In fact, you might be able to start your business with a laptop, a smartphone, or a promotional flyer you post in your neighborhood.  In this session, you will learn about businesses that don’t rely on a physical space, and in this category, we will describe freelance, independent, and home-based businesses (referred to throughout this session collectively as “home-based” businesses).  This session discusses different types of businesses that you can start from home and provides a Freelance, Independent, and Home-Based Business Readiness Checklist to help ensure you have what you need to get started.
