Guided Business Plan

Guided Business Plan is an entrepreneur education firm that publishes the GUIDED Business Plan™ books (ten different editions) and develops Facilitator Training Packages for classroom learning. Unlike business plan software, we bring the social aspect back to the classroom. Group discussions foster networking and idea sharing. Participants write their business plan in class -at least a draft of it. Business development centers choose us for consistent yet flexible live classes at their location led by their facilitators. Small business development centers (SBDCs), women's business centers (WBCs), microlenders and similar groups license the national GUIDED Business Plan™ training platform that includes workbooks, handouts and presentations to teach new and existing business owners.
