Unit 1 - Writing Assignment - Initial Business Proposal

Unit 1 - Initial Business Proposal

For this course, you will research information for a business you would like to start or maybe a small business you are currently running. You will be using this business project throughout the class, and so it will be helpful to have some knowledge about the business and the industry.

You need to focus on such things as:

- Size of business
- Number of employees
- Who are my customers?
- How do I reach my customers?
- Who are my competitors?
- How many companies are competing for my customers?

These are some of the questions you need to address when thinking about a start-up business. What we are looking for is a basic knowledge of your business and market.  You can then lay the groundwork for plans that will guide you and allow you to understand what is happening both inside and outside of your business.

I will be asking you to create financial information about this business throughout the course in order to generate financial statements that will help you make good business decisions.
Unit 1 Assignment (10 points)

In this unit, submit a one-page business proposal that will highlight the business you intend to use for the course and provide some basic information about the business. You can use the questions above as a guide or to supplement the information you are providing.

This should be no longer than three paragraphs, single spaced. Though you will not be graded on grammar and spelling but please proof your assignment so that you present a professional proposal.

Save your writing in a document, and turn it in by going to the Dropbox folder found on the course home page.
