E Street, Suite 200, in San Bernardino.

The workshop will focus on issues that are essential to a good business plan such as financial projection, budgeting, advertising and marketing strategies.

“Creating a business plan should be the first step that an entrepreneur takes when they start a new venture,” Lori Tillery, economic development manager, said. “However, we often encounter new business owners who don’t have a plan written up. A business plan is a map that lays out the company’s directions and goals and is often requested by potential financiers.”
