ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION

Why is entrepreneurial development important at a young age?

Entrepreneurship education has a particularly important role in the current context, where small businesses put the entire economy on the wheels. Young people have the opportunity to implement their ideas, establishing companies and realizing successful projects from an ever younger age. That is why the most effective education in the direction of entrepreneurship is essential for the new generations.

Cultivating an entrepreneurial spirit and learning the basics of business helps young people understand the responsibilities, duties and benefits of being an entrepreneur. They can understand the needs of the society, the market demand and the ways in which it can be satisfied. They also have the opportunity to develop professionally much earlier than they anticipated.

What are the advantages of early entrepreneurship education?

Even if entrepreneurship seems to be an activity for grown-up people with a certain degree of maturity, this is not entirely true. A good education, knowledge of the business environment and its advantages and disadvantages, analysis and study of the most successful entrepreneurs, can lead to the development of successful businesses from the teenage years. Even otherwise, when no action is taken until the mature years, such information proves to be extremely useful.

Business plan

The basis for the path in entrepreneurship is the business idea. For an entrepreneur to do business, he needs money. And in order to have money, the entrepreneur must have contact with the investor. The business plan is a means of contact between entrepreneurs and investors, but also the first answer to the question of how to become rich. This is a way of communication between the entrepreneur and the financier. Through the business plan, the business idea is put on paper, that is, it becomes concrete. By putting the idea on paper, the entrepreneur will be able to notice the good and bad side of his idea, notice all the possible shortcomings of his idea and eliminate them in time. Everything that makes up a business field is connected with a business plan, i.e. what does an entrepreneur do, what product will make, what is the target market, what is the competition, how will he finance the business process... You should realistically analyze the means and equipment available to the entrepreneur, the competition, future expectations must be anticipated and possible responses to unforeseen future events must be prepared. The synthesis of all these things will be presented in a business plan.

Structure business plan

The structure of the business plan is not standardized. Each company has its own planning needs. However, banks sometimes offer their own models of business plans, more or less relevant from the point of view of a rigorous planning. A very used type of business plan structure is the departmental one. Within this structure, all analyses, objectives and strategies are defined according to the specifics of the company's activities. The departmental structure of the business plan is as follows:

1. Executive summary

2. Description of the business

3. Marketing planning

4. Production and operations planning

5. Human resources planning

6. Financial-accounting planning

7. Risk management

8. Implementation of the business plan

9. Appendices
