💰Last week was week 3 of the How To Start A Business cohort, and we got real about the numbers. Students learned how to estimate startup costs, set pricing, and forecast revenue. We explored funding options like self-funding, loans, and grants, and broke down what financial forecasting really means (hello, cashflow and profit/loss!).

During the work session, students used the Startup Cost and Financial Forecast Worksheets to begin building out the Financial Plan section of their business plan. It wasn’t just about crunching numbers, it was about creating a financial roadmap to support a sustainable, successful business. 💼

Tonight we're talking about Legal Structure, Location & Finalizing Business Plans!

Week 2 recap of our How To Start A Business Cohort! 📝

This week, our entrepreneurs-in-the-making started pulling it all together, taking the customer insights and market research from Week 1 and plugging them into the early sections of their business plans.

We broke down the purpose of a business plan, explored key components like the executive summary, mission, and services, and discussed how to integrate real research and data to tell a compelling story.

With mentor support and focused work time, ideas are officially becoming structured plans!
