Before Your Business: Building Your Business Model Canvas

BEFORE THE BUSINESS: Build and Test Your Business Model Canvas helps aspiring entrepreneurs avoid moving forward before understanding how the business will actually work. In this hands-on workshop, participants will pressure test their idea, identify customers, clarify value, explore revenue and costs, spot gaps, and uncover assumptions before investing time, money, and energy into launch. Entrepreneurs leave with a clearer business model and practical next steps.

• Why a good idea is not always a business model
• The key questions every business starter should answer
• How to spot gaps and assumptions early
• What makes a business model realistic
• How to pressure test before launch
• Next steps for strengthening the idea
