New WEV course focuses on financing

Women’s Economic Ventures this October will launch Business Plan Intensive, a new course to help entrepreneurs prepare for financing, start a new business or expand an existing one while creating jobs for themselves and others.

The class is an accelerated-pace, six-week business plan writing course designed for professionals who need access to capital quickly, a WEV spokeswoman said.

It is aimed at new entrepreneurs and current business owners who need to implement a launch or a growth strategy and need an infusion of capital to succeed, the spokeswoman said.

The course emphasizes “financial intelligence” and integrated marketing techniques as well as a viability study.
