Business Development 2

 

Class Details:

Class Number:  EAEP 488
Credits:  3
Location: Dinsdale Learning Commons, East Campus

Class Description: 

It’s time to get ready to launch! This class builds off the previous class, Business Development I (EAEP 388), and takes it to the next level. 

The last class was all about testing your new concept. Is this idea worth pursuing? Do you have a grasp on the potential customer? Do you have a firm idea on a go-to-market strategy?

Once you’ve done enough customer discovery to answer all those questions, it’s time to get serious. Business Development II takes a tested business idea and builds a plan to launch it.

Specifically we’ll focus on building: 

  • A finance overview including breakeven, cashflow, amortization, depreciation, startup costs and payroll expenses.
  • An assessment of critical risks.  
  • A plan to fund your business.
  • A full business plan. 

You’ll walk away from this class ready to take your business idea and turn it into reality. 

Be prepared — this class isn’t easy. Starting a business is tough, but we think the struggle is worth the end product. 

“I left this class with a real confidence and executable plan to launch my business”
