Business Plan Review

If you’re starting a business, an important part of this process for many entrepreneurs is developing a strong business model and articulating your ideas in a business plan. Business plans can be useful in a variety of ways, including:

· Guiding the direction of the company,

· Setting milestones for the business to achieve,

· Aligning your financial projections with your business strategy, and

· Helping the company access funding from lenders and investors.

The purpose of this free service is to provide you with step-by-step information, resources, and templates that you can use to prepare your business plan.

Mentorship

Get Guidance from an Experienced Entrepreneur or Expert

Starting a business can be overwhelming! It’s important for new founders to have someone they can turn to for guidance. The BCITSA Entrepreneurship Mentorship program gives students and alumni an opportunity to connect with and learn from experienced entrepreneurs and business experts.
