The Big One.....

This is it. Today you are starting your big, summative 30% of your mark project.

The goal of this project will be to create and plan a viable small business that could operate as a summer employment opportunity for you during the summer. Key points to remember:

It must follow all provincial and municipal regulations;
It must be a realistic and valid opportunity for a summer job;
It must have the potential to generate an income;
It must be financially sound to start; and
Your presentation will make use of the many computer skills you have learned this year.

Your first task is to:

-develop an idea for a business;
-create a business plan; and
-create a budget.

Details will be discussed in class. Below are some links to get you started.
