What is a business plan, and why might you need on

What is a business plan, and why might you need one? Simply put, it is a document that outlines your business objectives and your strategies for achieving them. It can be used to access funding opportunities, provide clarity for decision-making, and to help you set priorities for your farm. For farmers in the start-up phase of their business, it can be a game changer and set you up for success. ⁠
⁠
The Business Bootcamp for New Farmers program is designed to walk you through the different aspects of developing a business plan.⁠
⁠
We'll cover everything from writing a mission statement to creating a financial plan to defining a marketing strategy. You'll have the opportunity to:⁠
⁠
🌻Delve into the parts of a good farm business plan⁠
🌻Gain insights from experts on your farm business⁠
🌻Get to know others in farm start-up⁠
🌻Hear ideas and inspiration from your peers⁠
🌻Set yourself up to access capital⁠
⁠
The next round runs from January 11 - March 21, 2024. Don't miss out, spots are limited!⁠
