Do you Remember How to Write a Business Plan?

If you have been out of the workplace for a few years, you may have forgotten how to write a business plan. We all know they are important as a business planning and funding tool, but does the idea of a business plan fill you with dread? Another concept to make you feel outdated and out to lunch?

Here is a great resource. The Small Business Training Network, (part of the Small Business Administration( SBA)) is a virtual campus providing quality and targeted online training to meet the information needs of prospective and existing small business owners. "Prospective," that is you! They offer free online courses that are self-paced and last about 30 minutes. I checked out their course on Developing a Successful Business Plan and recommend it as a good summary. Don't let the workplace intimidate you. Check out what you don't know or don't remember. You will be surprised out quickly it all comes back!
