Presented by Madeleine Wolske, Director – Illinois Small Business Development Center at Champaign County EDC

Why do you need a business plan? It’s your playbook!

- Breaking Down the Components of a Business Plan
- Selecting the Right Tools for Business Plan Development

The webinar will be approximately 45 minutes of presentation time followed by Q&A. Participants will be able to ask questions in the chat box, which will be addressed at the end of the presentation, moderated by a member of our team.
