Things are moving right along with business plan preparation, and the SBDC plays a huge role in helping CEO students get prepared for "Bankers Day." Pam Clodfelter, a business advisor for the SBDC, gave students a background on the 4 stages they help entrepreneurs, from the business concept/ideation phase all the way to succession planning and figuring out an exit strategy. Pam discussed the most important components of a business plan and that often the hardest part is just getting started. Students have now been given all of the tools to create a great plan for the product or service they'll be selling at the trade show, on April 23rd and 24th at the Northland Mall in Sterling.
