Intro to Buisness

The group of investors who saw your presentation several weeks ago seemed impressed and believed your business had potential. However, they gave you some feedback that you needed to hear. Your presentation did not include financials, organizational structure, employee skill sets, your background and brief bios of others involved, as well as who your stakeholders are and the nature of your commitment to them from an ethical standpoint.

Using this input plus the feedback you received from your instructor on the first part of your project, complete the finished version of your business plan presentation. You will update your MS PowerPoint presentation developed in Week 3 ( Attached  in uploads)and prepare an additional 6 – 9 PowerPoint slides to address the following:

• Financial projections
• Sources of capital
• Organizational structure
• Key roles and the bios of those filling them.
• Employee skill sets needed
