Venture Concepts Paper

 Venture Concepts Paper

Select a conceptual small business startup

venture that you would like to plan,

develop, and operate for this and

subsequent individual assignments

leading up to a complete Financial

Prospectus due in Week 5. This may be

any venture that interests you that fits

within the category of small business.

 If you do not have a particular business in mind, the small businesses

for sale listings found in your local newspaper or through the Internet

may provide some interesting ideas and opportunities.

Write a 550- to 750-word paper in APA

format in which you do the following:

•  Describe the conceptual venture that you would start if you had the

resources. Include details such as the number of employees, the type

of facilities and equipment needed, target customer demographics, and

marketing channels.

•  Research at least one current company that is an appropriate

benchmark to your venture. Describe how this benchmark company

started financially and how it has grown. Compare this company to your

conceptual venture by discussing how your venture might be funded

similarly or differently. If all the details are not available, you may make

assumptions for the sake of comparison.
