Business Plan Development
Having a good business plan is the first step in succeeding in an entrepreneurial venture. Not only does this document capture the essence of your business from strategy to financial planning, but it is also a prerequisite to getting funding. Through this session you will learn the best practices associated with business plan development. The session is taught by Mr. Nate Silverman, an experienced advisor to early stage investors and entrepreneurs. Nate is a Certified HOT100 Advisor TM, using a proven process to accelerate significant business growth and improvement for more established companies with revenues exceeding $500,000. He also serves as technical advisor to Mont Vista Capital, a leading global provider of investment banking and risk advisory services to clients in the alternative energy industry.
Legal and Tax Planning
Strategic and preventive legal planning is crucial to the success for any start-up. Legal mistakes such as contract loop holes and poorly structured legal agreements can lead to employee/shareholder lawsuits, intellectual property misappropriation and infringement. These are not only financially expensive but also have led the failure of startups. This session will provide you with some pointers to help you navigate the legal challenges of starting a business.
