Preparing an Effective Business Plan and Cash Flow Forecasts

This session is designed for people who have a clear idea of the business they want to start, and the customers they plan to serve.  Now you have that business idea you will usually need a plan and cash flow forecasts to communicate it to potential funders and other business partners to get them to support your vision.  The session will cover what the people you want to persuade are looking for, and equally important, what they don’t want to see.   Above all a clearly thought though plan should also significantly increase your chances of success.
