Mechanics of Starting a Business
CLASS SUMMARY
Given that all businesses need a bank, banks have a ringside seat on companies that succeed as well as on those that fail. Your banker can play an important role, and can provide key guidance, in helping you get your business launched - and in keeping it running.
This talk covers a number of issues relevant to starting and running a business, including:
- Starting a business: What you need to know
- Ownership structures: Pros/Cons of each
- Business plan: Your roadmap to success
- Financing your business
- Building a relationship with your bank
- Why businesses fail
