Who is this course for? Open to all. 

This module provides an overview of each chapter of the workshop of Simple Steps for Exiting Your Business. The workshop was developed in FY17 and is available to chapters for use as a local workshop. The module will familiarize learners with the topics of the workshop, succession planning, retirement planning, and estate planning and why this information is important for small business owners.

PLANNING FOR SUCCESS: HOW TO USE THE BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS AND BUSINESS PLANS introduces participants to the concept of the business model canvas and how and when it might be used instead of or in addition to traditional business plans (marketing, financial, or a full, traditional business plan).

This was recorded at the 2017 Volunteer Virtual Conference. 

SCORE mentors can help their clients validate their business concepts using the Business Model Canvas developed by Strategizer as explored in VirtCon 2017. BMC provides a manageable way to plan their launch. The two most important elements in BMC are the Value Proposition and Customer Segments. V2 explores how to help your clients formalize their model and then validate it before moving beyond these key elements with additional investment of time and resources. 

This is a session from SCORE's Volunteer Virtual Conference 2018.
