Lunchtime Forum - Special Guest Bob Farquhar of YourPlanYourFuture.
Tomorrow, March 25, 12-1 PM, SVCC Office.
Business Planning: Vital or a Waste of Time?
The Small Business Administration says there are two reasons start-ups fail: 1) Not enough capital to give the business a chance to jell. 2) L ack of a business plan. Maybe you think the only time you need a plan is when you're going for a loan? Bob Farquhar of YourPlanYourFuture will lead a discussion on business planning from noon to 1pm Tuesday, March 25, at the SV Chamber of Commerce office. Come armed with your questions and business cards.
