Do you have an idea that you would like to base a business on? Great! An idea is an important first step and insight in business. At best, it develops into a demand-based business idea and a business plan for profitable business.

In this Entrepreneurship Course, the idea is refined into a concrete business plan, which is the cornerstone of your business operations. The business plan is a description of how the company intends to make money. It answers the basic questions of the business idea: to whom you sell, why, i.e., what kind of needs you have identified in the market, what is reasonable to sell, how you operate in practice, and what kind of image you want to build for your business.

You will receive solid basic information about business planning and successful start-up while you prepare your own business plan.
