Santa Cruz: Business Planning for Pre-Ventures and Start-Ups

Feb 18 6:00 pm — 7:30 pm

Event Details

Starting a business without a plan is like setting off on a road trip with no map or GPS—you might get somewhere, but will it be where you want to go? Every decision you make in the early stages of your business should move you closer to success, and a well-crafted business plan can help you stay on track.

Forget the idea that a business plan has to be long or complicated. In this workshop, you’ll discover how to create a simple, effective plan—one that could be as short as a single page! A good plan helps you avoid costly surprises, attract funding if needed, and stay focused as you build your business.

Join Asbury Lockett, an experienced SBDC business advisor who has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs navigate the start-up process, for this interactive workshop. You’ll walk away with a ready-to-use lean business plan template and the confidence to take your next steps with clarity and purpose.
