It’s also a useful tool when bringing on business partners or looking for investors. The writing process itself will also help you determine if your business has a chance at success\, give you an idea of startup costs and how much you’ll need to invest or finance\, and uncover potential challenges. A business plan is a living\, changing document that gives you as the business owner a strategic roadmap for the future. \nProgram features \nThis course covers every major section of the business plan\, from executive summary to financial forecasts\, using real-life examples and best practices. Throughout the program\, you’ll attend class sessions\, spend time working on your plan\, and get feedback and 1:1 support from a business mentor. Between sessions\, there will be optional expert led sessions covering relevant small business topics including accounting\, HR\, legal considerations\, loan readiness\, MWBE certification\, and more. \nProgram fee and fee waivers \nThe fee for this program is $150 and covers all 10 sessions\, optional expert sessions\, and a 3 month subscription to LivePlan\, the leading business plan writing tool. \nOur goal is to make this program accessible to our community. We are able to keep costs low for this cohort through partial sponsorship by Empire State Development. The course fee of $150 partially covers the cost of our program facilitators\, materials\, and software. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available. For information about scholarship availability please contact Jennifer McGee\, Program Manager\, at jemcgee@syr.edu. \nEligibility & how to apply \nTo be eligible\, you must: \n\nBe the owner of a recently launched business\, OR\nHave a well-vetted business idea. If you haven’t yet launched\, you must supply evidence of significant market research and describe the steps you’ve taken to validate your business idea\nCommit to attending all 10 classes\, held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 – 7:30 pm starting September 18\, 2024\nCommit to spending 2+ hours outside of class every week working on your business plan and keeping up with the writing assignments\nComplete all required steps in the application and registration process\n\nVisit the Accelerate: Business Plan Intensive website for more information. \nFor questions\, please contact Jennifer McGee at jemcgee@syr.edu.
