Another great SCORE Seminar:
How to De-Risk Your Business Concept
This seminar will focus on the critical elements of a business or business idea that entrepreneurs and business owners must assess to reach a substantiated decision and reduce the risks associated with any startup or growth plans. Essentially, we'll cover a structured planning process to methodically explore those elements, as they apply to your business or concept and create a solid "safety net" that will increase your odds, reduce frustration, prevent the loss of capital and maximize potential profitability.
SCORE mentors will show you how to use that process to “bench test” your concept before you commit significant capital to the business.
The seminar fee is $45 ($25 for Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce members). To encourage active class participation, the class is limited to twelve registrants and you can followup with SCORE’s always-free individual business mentors.
