This course covers: how to define your personal vision, how to create your business concept, how to define your target market after conducting marketing research, how to enter and capture the market, how to build and compensate your team, how to setup an accounting and financial plan, how to protect your intellectual property, how to get funding and work with investors, and how to manage your cash and operate your business profitably.

Program Components

10 Fast Trac sessions (a weekly 2.5 hour class) where key concepts will be discussed and applied to your business with your facilitator, business coach, peers, and expert guest speakers. At each class hands-on coaching will get you started on the action steps needed to develop your concept, plan your business and test for feasibility.
An entrepreneur manual that includes 10 modules that will guide you through the concept analysis and business planning process. In these modules, you will complete reality checks that will turn your entrepreneurial dreams into reality.
A Fast Trac Tool kit that includes Business Planning templates, Excel based financial templates, action steps, videos, and informational resources for each of the modules. This Tool kit will help streamline your financial projections, point you to research websites, and help you to create a detailed, dynamite business plan that will get even the most conservative banker excited.
This course will require 4 to 5 hours of homework per week to stay "on track".

Cost: The cost for all this business knowledge is a low, low $349.00 (includes the above listed program components). And at the end of the class you can receive $150.00 back if you complete a business plan and participate in class discussions. This makes your final cost less than $200.00!! WOW, another bargain given by the SBDC at UVSC.
