This workshop is part of Houston Community College’s new Business Success Series by HCC©,
specially developed for entrepreneurs who are either planning to start a business, in the early stages of launch
or planning to grow their business.
Assists entrepreneurs in determining the financial viability of their business idea or growth plan. Covers competition, market need, price positioning, differentiators, revenue projections, start-up costs & more.
Many, if not most, entrepreneurs who wish to start or grow their businesses have difficulty in determining if their business idea or growth plan will be lucrative.
This workshop is designed to assist these entrepreneurs in determining the financial viability of their business idea or growth plan. There is no point in expending a lot of time and money on your proposed business or proposed growth plan if you are able to determine early on that it may not be financially lucrative. Equally important, the proper research can help you pivot early on to abandon non-lucrative ideas and to change and redirect your business assumptions when necessary to achieve success.
During the workshop you will be examining your idea from several perspectives to assist you in determining the financial viability of your business venture.
Featured Topics:
- Competitive space and product/service substitutes
- Market need, market size and market positioning
- Business model options
- Differentiators
- Revenue models
- Financials - selling price, gross margin, fixed costs, break-even, etc.
-
Start-up investments - time, team and financial resources
