Learn the essential elements for preparing a plan for business success by identifying content and format for a business plan--including sources of information to aid in its development. You should understand that a business plan is a valuable internal tool, even when not required for the benefit of investors or loan officers. A business plan may force you to think about your idea in new ways and to question the validity of your product/service target markets. It can serve as a guide or benchmark to allow you to track your progress and to stay committed to your long-term goals. If you have partners, it can help avoid misunderstandings. It will help you to better describe and to speak more concisely about your company. All these elements of a business plan can contribute to successful implementation of your business idea.

Are you a small business owner looking for the right insurance coverage? Join this workshop where we will help you understand the different types of insurance coverage available and which ones are best suited for your specific business needs. LEARN: When does my small business need an insurance policy ? What questions should I be asking about my business and coverage? What types of coverage (e.g. people, property) is most essential? What is covered under various policies? Presenter Marcia McKinney: Marcia is passionate about helping you understand insurance. What you don't know can hurt you. We are all in a hurry to get our business done but spending a few minutes online may not be enough time to truly understand the importance of making sure you have the right coverage. Protect what you've worked so hard to achieve! Marcia helps her clients get the facts! Don't be intimidated... you need someone you trust to "explain" your options, not just sell you a policy. She will work with you to create an insurance portfolio that grows with you... From your first car, your first home, your first child, and all of the "firsts" in your life.
