  The business plan is one of the most important documents to have as an owner or operator as it helps you communicate who you are, what you do, and why it is important.  It can also help you identify the strong points of the business as well as opportunities to advance those areas.  Work with professionals on how to define your market, plan your industry research, and communicate to readers what it is you will be doing.   Class will meet once per week for 2.5 hours per night, 6pm-8:30pm
