Starting Your Business Boot Camp 

This SCORE Boston Business Startup Boot Camp provides an overview of what you need to consider when you are planning to start a new business.  It is designed to help you go from new business concept to ‘opening the doors’.

The Workshop starts at 8:45 AM and ends about 3:00 PM, and consists of two sessions.  

The Morning Session is a 3-hour interactive presentation, given by counselors experienced in each of the areas discussed.  This session will give you a clearer understanding of what is necessary to run a business.

Key topics include:

• Entrepreneurship: is it for you?
• Is your business concept reasonable?
• What a business plan is, how to decide if you need one, and key items to include
• Building your financial plan and options for financing your business
• Key questions about finding customers - how you’ll market your business and get sales
• What business structure should you select?
• What advisors do you need?
• Other resources available to help you

The Afternoon Sessions are small roundtable discussions led by SCORE counselors, in which you can talk about the issues you are facing and get ideas to help solve them.
