Start writing your business plan with INVenture . . . a business
planning tool to
successfully launch a new venture
(formerly known as the AICC Business Planner).
Because it can be difficult to know where to begin exploring a venture,
this website helps you by asking key questions about what you want to do.
After completing the online assessment process, either individually or
with the assistance of a New Ventures Team member, you should be able to
go to potential partners with a well-planned idea.
