Kutztown SBDC: Business Planning
This tool is available for free to all KU SBDC registered members.
Pitch Then Plan™: The business planning technique that quickly translates business ideas into business plans.
The "PitchThenPlan™" tool can be used by start up businesses as well as existing businesses to develop or perfect a written business plan.
The three part "PitchThenPlan™" tool will allow the entrepreneur to first develop a ten slide pitch for your business. In this section ten basic topics will be covered, among them: The Idea, The Business Model, and The Customer.
Next you will be guided to expand your pitch into a business plan. In the planning section more topics are covered, such as: Marketing Schedule, The Location, and Legal Structure.
And last you will develop the numbers for the business plan. We provide an excel template that will assist you in developing the financial section of your financial plan.
Available to entrepreneurs in the Kutztown University SBDC service territory:
This 2 hour business planning Webinar (live, interactive, online workshop) based on one of the best selling books for small business, "The Art of the Start", will get you ready to make your pitch to an investor by meeting online with a team of SBDC business coaches, experts and advisors. The Webinar will be supplemented by self-paced online learning that will be customized to your own individual learning needs. Business Plan NOW will utilize integrated online tools to facilitate the business planning process. At the end, you’ll have your business plan model summarized on ten PowerPoint slides that will give any investor what they need to know to make a decision about investing in your business. In addition, you’ll be well on your way to building the specifics needed for a business plan and you’ll have a first year cash flow developed to help you define how much money you really need to launch the business. Business Plan NOW is limited to 8 participants to maximize the interactivity during the session. Participants will have time to get their individual questions answered.
