There are two ways into business ownership: buy a business that already works, or start one from scratch. This course helps you choose the path that suits you, and then gives you a practical way to get started.
It's a 41-page fillable workbook in eight modules. Each module has short, plain-English lessons, a worksheet to do the thinking for your own business, and a template you can keep using afterwards. Work through it at your own pace and you'll finish with a one-page plan, real numbers and a 90-day action plan.
