Learn how to write a business proposal and take your idea from concept to a tangible plan, to execution.
A business proposal simply is a blueprint of the goals, projections, financing and other particularly important elements of a new business venture or the revamping of a current business. We will cover those topics and you will be able to create your own business plan. You will use your business proposal to present a summary of your new project, product, or service to potential investors, bankers, and customers. The business proposal will include your marketing and implementation strategy, and your financial plan. Any potential investor with cash to put into a startup will want to know that you have a solid plan in place. A formal plan or proposal will give them a good idea of how your new business will run, succeed, and be profitable.
