BUSINESS PLANNING 101 : FROM IDEA TO REALITY

It’s time to get serious, take the leap, formalize your thinking, and develop a business plan that will provide you direction. This two-part workshop will give you the tools you need to develop a business plan and move your art practice to the next level.

With a written business plan, you’ll have a map to your destination. You’ll be able to better present yourself to potential investors and be better positioned for the marketplace.

This workshop will take place over two 3-hour sessions and participants will learn key concepts of writing a business plan, including

• What is your service or product?
• What needs does your service or product fill?
• Who are potential customers, who is your competition, and why will they purchase from you?
• What are your strategies and tactics to reach these potential customers?
• How do you build financial projections?
• Where will you get financial resources?

Note: Participants will be expected to do work on their individual plans between sessions.
