As an entrepreneur, taking the initiative to develop a solid business plan is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your business. A business plan will serve as the roadmap you will use to establish business goals, track progress and attract important investors.
However, we know it can be difficult knowing where to start. After filling in some online business planning templates and reading a few articles, you were probably left with more questions than answers, and nothing tangible to show for your efforts.
That’s why we developed our flagship Business Planning Program (BPP).
Once you have completed the BPP you’ll have a detailed business plan that you can feel confident taking to investors to secure funding, communicating effectively with key stakeholders, proving market viability, minimizing business risks and failure, and using it to make better business decisions.
Having a business plan leads to a greater chance of your business succeeding.
We’re here to help you do just that.

FAQs
How is the Business Planning Program delivered?
Our program is held completely virtual using Microsoft Teams. This allows us to help entrepreneurs from all over the province! (Please note that to join the sessions you will need to use the Teams app as opposed to Teams in browser).
Who is this program for?
Manitoba-based entrepreneurs looking to develop a sound business plan. Ideally you will have a specific business idea you are committed to focusing on. If you already have an existing business and never wrote a formal business plan before, this program is for you!
I am just getting started in business, is the Business Planning Program best place to start?
This program is best suited for those with an idea they are committed to pursuing or already have an existing business. If you aren’t sure what you want to do just yet, it might be best to wait.

If you aren’t sure, you can always hop on a free call with one of our business advisors to see if this program would be a good fit for you.
Will you be writing my business plan for me?

What happens after I’ve completed the Business Planning Program?
When you’re done with the program, you’ll have a completed business plan that you can use for the rest of your business journey – as long as you’ve been doing your homework! You will also receive a certificate of completion.
