The 20-Minute Business Plan: Tailored for British Columbia
If the thought of creating a business plan seems daunting, you’re not alone. But there’s still time to lay out your ideas, formulate a plan, identify funding sources, and start applying for them. It’s not too late to achieve your business goals.
The time to start is now!
To help get you into the entrepreneurial spirit, we introduce the Business Model Canvas, a tool tailored for the unique business environment of British Columbia. Dubbed the 20-Minute Business Plan, this tool focuses on the essential elements of your business without delving into the extensive details of a traditional business plan.
The canvas allows you to outline your business plan on a single page, covering 9 critical sections that encompass the core aspects of any business: offerings, team, customer base, partnerships, revenue streams, and more.
Creating a Business Model Canvas provides clarity on what drives your business, flexibility to adapt and experiment, and transparency in your business model.
