RESOURCES & SERVICES

While others may see challenges, we only see opportunities.

Let us guide you through the steps of business development with our free one-on-one business consultation which includes any or all of the following based on your individual needs.

Business plan and financial projections consultation

Creating a solid business plan or business model canvas is the first essential step when starting a business.  The business plan is your roadmap to help you navigate unfamiliar territories and arrive at your destination (the launch) better prepared to take on your new adventure.

Legal Structure

What is the proper structure for your new business? Is a change in business structure needed now that you are expanding? Find the one that’s right for you.

Do-It-Yourself Market Research

Market research is the “root” or foundation of your business plan and a successful launch. You need to do some research on your industry (type of business), competition, and most importantly your market. Will you have enough demand to sustain the business?  Conducting research on your own is easier than you might think if you know how and where to look for information.

Business Intelligence and Research

Need more customized research?  Don’t have the time or can’t find the data you need to determine if your idea is feasible? Envision Greater Fond du Lac offers customized market research at affordable prices.

Below are some resources, links and more to get you a solid start.
