The 9-hour class covers the basics of a business plan, marketing, and cash planning and is suitable for those thinking about or in the early start-up phase of a new business. The Basics of Starting a Business will help you assess the feasibility, desirability, and viability of your business idea and get you started with your plan.

Karin Petrin, Microenterprise Specialist for New Ventures Maine in Aroostook County and the trainer for the class, notes that “If you will be seeking bank financing for your business endeavor, want to reach all of your customers the first time, or just want to see if your idea will work as a business, you need a business plan. This class will give you the foundational plan for financing, marketing, start-up, or expansion.”

The Business Basics class is open to all entrepreneurs. The class is suitable for those who are thinking about starting their own business, those in the early start-up phase, or established business owners who want a refresher on planning for successful business operation or expansion.
