Objectives:

The financial plan is a critical component of nearly all business plans.  Running a successful business means paying close attention to how much money you are bringing in, and how much money you are spending.  A good finance plan goes a long way to help determine when to hire new employees or buy a new piece of equipment.  If you are a start-up and/or are seeking funding, a solid finance plan helps you figure out how much capital your business needs to get started or to grow, so you know how much money to ask for from the bank or from investors.  This course will be delivered in a group setting with the use of PowerPoint, flip charts and interactive discussions with the group.
