How to Write a Business Plan Workshop

The Coachella Valley Women’s Business Center (CVWBC) will begin a series which will illustrate how to write a business plan beginning on Tuesday, November 15 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The seminar will be held at 77-806 Flora Road, Suite C, in Palm Desert. Subsequent seminars will be held on subsequent Tuesday evenings through December 6. The cost for the series is $60.00 for the four part series with online registration (www.cvwbc.org).  For additional information call 760.345.9200.

Participants in this series will first be provided with an introduction to the business plan, then learn to identify industry growth, size, and trends, and write a company description.  A great deal of time will be spent on the Financial Plan, in order that participants have a clear understanding of that very important aspect of the plan.  Also covered in this series will be the marketing plan, the operations plan, organizational plan, and the Executive Summary.

The series will be presented by Angel Cardoz, Director of CVWBC.  The series is presented in an innovative and motivational manner, which incorporates hands-on activities and examples that help participants craft their plans as they learn.  The series teaches the writing process with maximum return on time invested.
