This creates a basic framework that you can use to complete YOUR full\, detailed business plan. \nHave paper\, a pencil or a pen ready as the goal of this workshop is for all participants to leave with a draft of their “Unique Value Statement” and “Lean Canvas.” \nListen to what others who have attended this workshop have to say about the instructors and the program: \n• It was a great help to have time to work on a plan and get direct feedback from the instructor! \n• The hands approach of writing my lean canvas in class really helped me think in detail about my business. \n• Really helps simplify the planning process for me! \n• Gave me a structured approach to think through my business. \n• It was a very positive environment; the instructor and other students provided examples on how to improve my plans. \nSCORE’s Small Business Essentials Workshops prepares individuals to make the right decisions and create actionable plans when starting a small business.
