Together we will go over the parts of the business plan and create a customized plan for each student's business idea. - Students will learn about income and expenses as it pertains to their business. They will learn basic bookkeeping and how to determine profit and loss. We will also discuss setting SMART goals and reinvesting into your business for future growth. - We will go over creating a marketing plan and the different avenues for customer acquisition.
