Your Business Plan
September 21, 2010 (Tuesday)
Registration FREE (see below)
There is one essential item that every lender requires from you to consider a business loan: It is not a firm handshake; it is not a steely-eyed trustworthy look-em-in-the-eye gaze; it is not a well-scrubbed appearance. The lender wants a BUSINESS PLAN!
Lenders provide you with $ for a simple reason: they want their loan funds returned…and…they want to make a profit from their business of lending money. Without a Business Plan they cannot make a valid judgement about the validity of your business…and…they cannot be sure that you have thought through all the essential issues of your business. Result = if the lender cannot place faith in your success, he will not make the loan.
WILLIAM (WILLY) CAMPBELL will discuss the items a Business Plan must cover. Willy has an AB and BSEE from Columbia University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. His career in aerospace was predominantly with Lockheed Martin in the areas of Advanced Development and Marketing. Among his responsibilities were the development of detailed Business Plans for major programs and assuring the execution of the Business Plans.
Willy will provide you with the “How To Do It Right” info you need with examples for you to take home…including Business Plan software and a sample Business Plan.
