Launching Business Growth Workshop

This intense 1-day workshop, presented by Northern Colorado’s Flight School and The Business Catapult, is designed to help:

• Entrepreneurs starting a business or thinking about starting a business;
• Businesses that have started and need help to grow; and
• Existing companies that want to become more entrepreneurial.

The workshop focuses on the following five questions:

1. How can I determine if I can be successful with my business idea?
2. What are the mechanics of setting up a business?
3. How do I fund a new business or expansion to my existing business?
4. Should I write a business plan? If so, what should I include and how should I write it?
5. How can I simply and effectively implement the systems to manage the money in my business?

Expected Outcomes:

Participants will have a clearer understanding of:

• What determines business success.
• How to set up a business entity and how this affects their taxes and future options.
• How to establish a name for their business, their products and their services.
• How to approach funding for their business.
• How to write a business plan based on who the audience for the plan will be.
• How to manage the money in your business to optimize success and avoid bankruptcy.
