SF CIED/GTEC Entrepreneurship Workshops

Do You Want To Start A Business?

To be successful you need a solid business model, which answers four essential questions:

1. What will the business sell or offer to its customers (product or service)? 2. Who is the primary customer (target market)? 3. Why would those customers want to buy (customer value proposition)? 4. How will the business make money (profit and loss)?

In this course we explore the core elements of a business model and learn how each part will help a business become successful.
