Want to take your business to the next level?
Build Your Business offers a package of five hours of customizable Business Coaching to address specific business development areas such as:
- Evaluating the Business Concept
- Starting a Business
- Business Diagnostics
- Business Financing
- Marketing and Sales Strategies
- Business Growth or Business Metrics and Measurement
Do you find yourself struggling in one of these areas? We're here to help! Business Coaching can be delivered in person (location dependent), via telephone, online or via Skype. All training materials and supplementary handouts are included.
It is often difficult to decide how to research your business idea, especially if you have never been in business for yourself.
You need to determine if your business idea has profit potential.
Even though you may think you know everything you'll need to start your business, completing this in-depth Business Concept Assessment (BCA) will go a long way to save you money and stress, and guide you to find out answers to questions you may not have thought of yet. By taking the time to do the work before starting your business you will understand:
- your key products or services
- the common characteristics and preferences of your customers
- what your customers want and how much they are willing to pay
- who your competition is
- what current and future trends can affect your business
- how much money you’ll need to start and how much money your business could make
The more you know about all of these factors, the better you can plan for success.
What you will receive:
- a workplan that will guide you through the development of your Business Concept
- a thorough and complete evaluation of your Business Concept
- feedback via email or telephone (if appropriate)
- an opportunity to submit one revision for follow up feedback
Build Your Business Experts (all experienced small business owners themselves) have been working with entrepreneurs from concept to implementation since 1997 and the evaluation of the BCA is the recommended first component before starting a business.
Is your Business Plan complete and comprehensive? Are you looking for financing? Are you looking for a clear evaluation in plain language?
Build Your Business Experts have been evaluating Business Plans since 1997 — some clients have won Business Plan competitions! Regardless of whether you are starting a home-based business or a manufacturing, retail or wholesale enterprise, the Build Your Business team will thoroughly evaluate your Business Plan and provide clear, thoughtful, professional feedback to allow you to confidently be able to use your Business Plan as your ‘Roadmap for Success’.
What you will receive:
- a thorough and complete evaluation of your Business Plan
- feedback via email and/or telephone (if appropriate)
- an opportunity to submit one (1) revision for follow up feedback
- a professional evaluation to ensure that your Business Plan shows viability and reflects the future potential of your business
If there is a facet of your business that you struggle with, a 2-hour workshop on that specific topic can provide individualized attention to help you, the business owner, to refocus and get your business back on track.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to: Startup Capital, market research, pricing, marketing, forecasting financials, regulations/taxes/legal, advertising/promotion, social media marketing, networking, time management and more. These workshops are offered throughout Toronto, York Region and Peel.
