Join us next Tuesday, May 23 at 6pm in the Burke Room at Chester County Library to learn about the one-page business plan!

Presented by SCORE Mentors of Chester and Delaware Counties, this workshop will introduce Leanstack Canvas, a 1-page business plan template that helps you deconstruct your idea into its key assumptions. It replaces elaborate business plans with a single-page business model. Business plans take too long to write, are seldom updated, and almost never read by others, but documenting your hypotheses is key. Leanstack Canvas solves this problem using a 1-page business model that takes under 20 minutes to create.

Sign up now at https://www.score.org/chesterdelco/event/leanstack-canvas%E2%80%94business-plan-a-page-4 to create a business model that will be read by more people, be more easily updated, and let you focus on building your business - faster.
