What’s a business plan, and do you need one?!
No matter what stage of business you’re in, if you don’t have a concrete business plan mapped out, let’s get to work! 💪
Candace recently got back into business planning mode to secure funding for her newest venture– Dante & Dory’s, a pet retail destination opening soon in Galesburg, IL!
This podcast series, Behind Closed Doors: Building a Pet Destination, takes you behind the scenes of EVERY step of Candace’s journey. In this update, she’s spilling the tea on how she crafted a 20 page business plan to wow the banks and get REAL about what her business goals are.
You’ll hear more about:
✔️ Candace’s secret AI weapon that helped her both dig deep to create her business plan AND do it a lot faster than she did 20 years ago
✔️ Why it’s a better idea to go to the bank with a business plan rather than some notes on a napkin
✔️ Details on the sections you should include in your business plan, like financial projections, for example (and what these look like in Candace’s plan!)
✔️ How Candace is already building a customer list and buzz WITHOUT having her branding finalized
✔️ How Candace is prepping her Dante & Dory’s team before their doors are even open
✔️ And so much more!
Whether you’re just starting out, planning to expand, or considering a business refresh, you’ll want to take notes from this one! Your business plan will serve as the foundational document for all your future business decisions.
