Join Be Social Change on Monday July, 28th for The Modern Social Venture with Mischa Byruck.

A “business plan” traditionally refers to a lengthy, bound, and laminated document, written before a business launches, detailing its every element with charts and research and projections. But in today’s social venture environment business plans must constantly evolve, and plenty of startups never write one at all. So what’s the deal? How should a social venture or nonprofit know if it needs a business plan? When is the document ready for presentation? How long should it be and what needs to go in it? In this class we will attempt to answer these questions without limiting ourselves to a single format, instead relying on real-world examples and active class participation to convey core concepts.

Note: This class has been designed for those interested in both for-profit social enterprises and nonprofits.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • When and why change makers need to write business plans
  • The difference between a business plan and business planning
  • How to communicate social impact in a business plan
  • The topics that need to be included in a business plan
  • Social impact
  • Competitive analyses
  • Business model
  • Financial projections

WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR:

  • Individuals contemplating founding a social enterprise or nonprofit
  • Professionals who have an idea for a project, organization or business that will drive social change
  • Founders and senior management of existing nonprofits and/or social enterprises
  • Anyone trying to raise money for a social sector organization
