A Business Plan is an important document for raising start-up capital, helping you to monitor progress and achieving your goals. When done correctly, it is a "living" document and tool that will help you manage the business beyond start-up. We will help you prepare a realistic plan that will document your vision, goals and strategy. No business should be started or maintained without a Plan. The key is an understanding of what should be included and how to capture the reader's interest in a concise but interesting way. Having a difficult time with the financial section? Your presenter will help you understand the three financial statements and how they relate to risk and performance. He will take the mystery out of forecasting.

Bonnie started her own retail ski shop at the age of 19, built it in five years to $1 million in sales, and then sold it in favor of a career as a stay-at-home mom. Within a year, she started a new home-based business selling custom portraits of children and pets through mail order and specialty shops. Five years later, Bonnie sold this business, earned her MBA and moved to Southern California to work for Hughes Aircraft as a Project Financial Analyst and for Shell Oil as a Project Manager. Later, as a Financial Manager for Disney, she worked on the construction of Thunder Mountain Railroad and managed financial affairs for Disney University and all of the Disney-owned stores at the park and hotels. For over 11 years, Bonnie was Finance Manager for Digital Equipment Corporation, responsible for managing the financial aspects of a 600-person sales force. She was executive partner to several aerospace and banking institutions. Bonnie wrote the strategic plan for a $50 million new venture. She now works part-time doing marketing, accounting, and financial planning for a small family-owned firm.
