Young Entrepreneurs: Business Planning and Financing

Are you between 18 and 34 years of age and looking to start a business?  Developing your business plan and sourcing financing can be two of the hardest tasks to accomplish when starting a business.  This seminar will provide key tips on developing your business plan and the resources that are available to you.  Brendan Cooper from Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF) will discuss how to establish good credit ratings, how to evaluate good and bad cash flows and how to apply for CYBF financing and mentorship. Finally we’ll have Morgan Beall from the Vancity Microfinance Program who will outline the 10 things they’ll be looking for in your business plan, how lenders measure risk and your options for financing.  This is an interactive session, so come prepared with questions.
Presented by, Small Business BC, Canadian Youth Business Foundation and Vancity.
