TOPIC INTRODUCTION
Every business starts with an idea. That idea is further developed using a typical five step
process illustrated in the diagram below. In this topic we will explore how to come up with
a solid business idea using this five step process.
TOPIC OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this topic you should be able to:
In the space provided and in your personal journal briefly describe your idea for a small
business in your community. If you already have a name for it, write it down as well! If you

to include ways in which you would like to grow your
existing business.
