A successful business plan requires the use of good data and other information sources. Such sources are essential for analyzing markets and competitors as well as for operational and financial planning. Don't be intimidated by this! There are lots of information sources that are accessible to you - come to this workshop to learn more.

The workshop provides an overview of the information landscape and of the sources most relevant to small business owners and entrepreneurs. We will also discuss strategies for locating, evaluating, and incorporating relevant information into your planning. The workshop will be followed by an optional tour of the sources located in the Kirstein Business Library.

Bring your questions, and leave with a “plan for your plan”!

This workshop is sponsored by SCORE Boston and the Kirstein Business Library at the Boston Public Library.  It will be presented by SCORE mentor Karen Vagts.
