Starting a small business is a monumental task. It seems like there are a million things you have to take care of before you can make your first dollar. You need to register your business, set up your website, work out your budget, figure out your marketing plan, test your products, and establish good relationships with your manufacturers and suppliers. If you’ve ever planned a company, you likely know that there are a lot of moving parts to consider. Finding a centralized, essential view to take it all in can be tricky. Fortunately, this is where the business model canvas comes in! 

The Business Model Canvas SUITE is a multi-part process designed to organize and validate one’s business ideas, be it a start-up idea or expanding a business. This process is an excellent starting point in creating a comprehensive Business Plan. It is also a “living” document to be altered as events change since its process uses “sticky notes” in an organized fashion on “canvases” with key questions.

 

Light appetizers and beverages will be provided.
