This month, we’ll be talking about Business Plans, and introducing the topics that we’ll be covering through the year, with the end goal of a pitch competition.

Bring your questions, your experience, and your enthusiasm for operating your business in Fayette County.

StartUp Fayette‘s I.R.T. program equips entrepreneurs with the Insights, Relationships, and Tools needed to turn ideas into a businesses. Whether you’re just getting started, stuck on a particular issue, or are in need of a refresher, these sessions are for you.

Starting a small business or building a new startup company can be a huge task to tackle on your own. There are many things you will need to learn, and many skill you will have to develop. It could take months, even years, to learn everything you need in order to be successful with your new endeavor. You will not only have to dedicate time to building your business, but also save some time for learning and self-development.

Building without first educating yourself and developing the necessary skills is the same as driving a car without the directions to your destination. You will make a lot of wrong turns. It can be hard to find business experts will real world experience and knowledge that are actually willing to help.

We went over this year’s calendar and jumped right into a discussion about why a business plan is important, and what should go into it.
