SCORE Denver - The Business Plan Seminar 
Start Up #4 

This is the final workshop in the series and is devoted to helping participants put their business plan together using the information they have gained from attending  the other three seminars and their own research.


Putting Your Ideas on Paper: Business Plan Development and the Narrative Section
This active session helps participants understand what is a business plan and how it is critical, if the participant is going to need financial backing. Participants learn about who writes the plan, the components of an effective plan , and get practice in developing parts of the narrative portion of the plan. As a result of this session the participant will  develop a statement about their business structure, their marketing plan, articulated their management plan, planned for their operations/production plan, and their technical plan. The participants will also develop alternatives to many of the contingences they may face, and develop a tactical launch plan and measures of success for their business. The participants will receive and use worksheets in the workbook, Let's Write Your Business Plan.

Building Your Financial Story: The Financial Section of the Business Plan
This session provides the instruction and tools to complete one of the most important parts of the business plan - the financial section.  The participant will receive both a clean copy and a completed case study of a comprehensive, linked Excel financial projection model.  Participants will walk through the steps to complete, understand and communicate their business' financial projections.
