Business Bootcamp
Starting Your Business
Business Bootcamp is a virtual, 8-session program to help you develop business skills, determine the viability of your business, and gain access to skills and connections that will make you a successful small business owner.
Over the eight sessions, participants can expect to identify their strengths as business owners, define the problem their business solves, their ideal customer, understand solid pricing so they make a profit, and what kind of money they’ll need to start their business. We’ll also go over important financial documents such as Profit and Loss statements and Cash Flow Projections, as well as a session dedicated to marketing and storytelling so you can sell to your customers right from the start!
The program is a mix of traditional instruction from SCCF staff and local small business owners, as well as Q&A panel discussions with business experts and supporters such as CPAs, lawyers, bankers, marketing experts, and more!
