The One Page Business Plan and One Page Financial Plan
No
matter what type of farm or food enterprise you envision, a business plan will
serve you well. In this webinar, we will introduce the One-Page Business Plan
and the One-Page Financial Plan that goes with it. These tools are designed to
get you started on formalizing your thoughts about your enterprise, and are the
first step in clearly articulating your business to partners, employees, or
lenders.
We’ll
take you through the documents, including examples and hints, give you a sense
of what your next steps will be after the One-Page documents, and then open the
floor to your questions.
Join
us for this morning webinar, and take your farm business to the next level.
