Better Than a Business Plan — A Plan to Create Business

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- The Technology Center of the Piedmont Triad and Smith Gruppe, LLC in conjunction with the Greensboro Public Library will offer a free, six-week course on The Business Creation Model. Classes will be held each Wednesday from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm beginning November 6.

“Attendees will get clear and concise insight on every step one needs to take in order to have the correct data to comprise a legitimate business plan,” states Antoine Smith, President and COO of the Technology Center of the Piedmont Triad, and Smith Gruppe, LLC.

Creating a strategic plan is the most important steps for aspiring business owners. According to the Small Business Association, only half of new establishments survive five years or more.¹ Most of the failures are due to the lack of planning pitfall.²

Smith is the class facilitator and creator of The Business Creation Model. “This class is part of the program offerings provided by the Technology Center of the Piedmont Triad for small to medium size businesses throughout the region for training and development, on-going growth and strategic planning, and for informative sessions on how technology can increase your competitive advantage in the marketplace,” states Smith.

Registration for the six-week course is free with a Greensboro Public Library Card. Class size is limited. Register online at www.tcptbcmodel.eventbrite.com. For more information on additional programs, call the Technology Center of the Piedmont Triad at (336) 790-1811.
