How to become an entrepreneur?
To become an entrepreneur, we recommend you follow these steps:
The Guide to Entrepreneurship is an informative booklet containing all the essential information an entrepreneur needs.
The guide is created in collaboration with the enterprise agencies’ network, member companies, and organizations.
A business plan is a concrete description of the key aspects of your business operations. It evolves with the environment and markets, helping to develop the business.
First, read the instructions for creating a business plan, and then start crafting your plan. Save the template to your computer so you can fill it out at your own pace.
You can also download templates for profitability and financial calculations from the page.
Now it’s time to deepen your business reflections with a one-on-one discussion with one of our business advisors.
You can also call directly at 010 321 8888. If you don’t get an immediate response, our advisors are likely helping another entrepreneur get their business up and running.
