Business Planning Basics

Most small business owners know their business. They know what they sell, who buys from them, and roughly what it costs to operate. What many haven’t done is write any of that down clearly.
This course gives you a simple tool to do exactly that: a one-page business plan you can finish in about three hours and actually use.
Over six lessons, you’ll work through who your customer is, what problem your business solves, how money flows in and out, and what your costs are. Each lesson builds on the last. By the end, you’ll have a written, one-page description of your business that you can share, refer to, and update as things change.
What you will have when you finish:

• A clear written description of your business and who it serves
• Your value proposition — what problem you solve and why customers choose you
• A map of your revenue model and your monthly costs
• A completed one-page business plan you can share and use

Who this course is for:

• First-time business owners who have never written a business plan
• Early-stage owners who are running but have not yet put their thinking on paper
• Anyone preparing to apply for a loan, pitch to a partner, or simply get clearer about their direction

No finance background needed. No prior business training required.
