How to Write a Business Plan (Hawaii Island - Kona)

This workshop will prepare attendees to compete in this year's HIplan Business Plan Competition, which has a grand prize of $25,000! Would you ever start on a journey not knowing where you were going? You’d need a map or at least a plan on how to get where you want to go. That’s what a Business Plan is for your business. It's to layout the how and where you are going to go with your business, with words and numbers. Business Plans will help you focus your vision, communicate it to lenders and other business partners, and test drive it for any flaws you need to correct. Learn how to: - develop a mission - outline a marketing plan - project your sales and expenses - plan your staffing All in the format of a Business Plan: a map guiding you to business success. Overwhelming? Maybe. One foot in front of the other; you’ll get there.
