YWCA Greater Los Angeles
While it may appear to be easy to start a business, an American Express report stated “88% of small businesses do not make more than $100,000.”
YWCA is hoping to change this statistic by offering mentoring, business leadership skills and access to funding to our community entrepreneurs. Register for a multi-week course based on the GUIDED Business Plan™ training series written by Melanie Rae. You will receive clear instructions to build a better business.

- The who, what, where, why and how of your business idea – will it make the money you want to earn?
- Who may be the easiest customer who will say YES to you
- How you can introduce your product or service to those who will pay what you’re asking for
- How to launch, operate and finance your business
- Introductory business terms so you can build your confidence as a business owner
What is included:

- GUIDED Budget – a free, easy to use spreadsheet to determine how much your business could make
- GBP Style Sheet – a free document to format your business plan to present to lenders, family, friends and other stakeholders
