Program
Overview
An early
stage entrepreneur is beginning to build his/her
business or has a deep commitment to starting one.
He/she is interested in understanding what it takes to
be a successful entrepreneur, how to conceptualize the
details of a product idea, how to write an effective
business plan, and how to compare the various options
for financing.
The Wharton SBDC Program for
Early Stage Entrepreneurs begins with The
First Step. This two-session program, offered at the
low price of only $25 per session, is perfect for those
who feel they need to learn more about building the
foundation for a successful, sustainable business. Our
instructors,
who are themselves seasoned entrepreneurs, will
introduce you to the tools you need to make your
business goals a reality.
In addition, during The
First Step you will have the opportunity to have
your specific questions relating to your particular
business or idea addressed by our research consultants.
These research consultants will then answer your
questions and provide you with a customized packet of
research. There is no charge for this
research.
Once you have completed The
First Step, you will likely proceed to Strategic
Business Planning. These sessions have proven to be
effective in supporting clients to draft their business
plans in four weeks. The course is followed up with a review
and assessment of your plan as well as support and
advice as you take the next steps in building your
business.
