Description

100% Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor.

This class isn't for hedge fund managers, capital investors, or bankers. This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to start a business.

Are you ready to get started? Do you have a business idea, and want to start with the basics? In this course, we will focus on the first steps of any business venture: Startup. We will use the real-world experiences of the award-winning instructor and university professor Dr. Jason Allen. But don't be worried - Dr. Allen is best known around campus for keeping things simple, accessible, and useful.

Dr. Allen is the founder of a number of successful businesses and is a top-rated Udemy instructor. In 2017 Star Tribune Business featured him as a "Mover and a Shaker," and he is recognized by the Grammy Foundation for his music education classes. 

While a lot of business courses focus on getting rich quick, this is a course for those interested in starting and building a long-term business with a firm foundation. You won't find "get rich quick" schemes here - everything we will learn in this class is practical, useable steps to start a business that you will be able to hand down to your grandchildren. 

This is the second part of a multiple-course series. 

In this course, we will focus the entire course on the funding process. First, we will look at how much money a new company really needs (which is different than how much money you really want). Then we will look at the 4 big options for funding a new business: Equity Funding, Debt Funding, Bootstrapping, and Crowdfunding. Each one of those has some advantages and disadvantages. Here is a hint: If you don't have any money, and don't want to take on debt, Bootstrapping is the way to go. You can start a business with no money if you follow a few simple rules of bootstrapping.

By the end of this course, if you follow along you will have your business set up and ready to start bringing in revenue.
