BUSINESS SKILLS
Module 8 presents a simple business plan the participants can
use to summarize the work and calculations they did during
the course. All subjects of the business plan have been covered
in the previous modules. The trainers will help the participants
put the information into the business plan format during the
final session.
The business plan gives the course participants an overview
of their business and can be used by them and the ICRC as a
reference once the participants start operating their
businesses.
