Simplified Business Plan March 15th, @ Bedford Library, 3 Meetinghouse Road, Bedford, NH:
The literature is full of outlines and directions for preparation of a detailed business plan. Every business should have a business plan, but recent studies have shown that the business owner can prepare a business plan in their own language, and, if structured as a set of operational tools to help run the business, it serves them well and satisfies all other requirements while significantly simplifying the writing task.

Diane Downing David Becker,
Firefly American Bistro
“We opened the day after Christmas 2008 (as the economy was having a fit!) and we've made our monthly forecasts ever since!”
Diane Downing and her brother, David Becker, wanted a cozy downtown restaurant that attracted repeat clients and offered value choices on the menu, as well as really good food and drink.
Andrew Hatch,
Lotions and Potions
“Knowing there is an experienced person available to discuss any issues and review ideas is a great confidence booster. To have free access to a network of expertise and information at a critical point in the development of a new venture is incredibly valuable. SCORE should be a first call for any entrepreneur looking to start or expand a business.”
Some people are repeat customers for newer businesses

“I really appreciated working with SCORE. Shana was helpful, but not pushy. I knew that it was still up to me to make my business succeed. She just gave me the added direction and confidence I needed to be successful.”
