SMB350 CSU Global Mod 8 Development Plan for Bakery Business Funding Presentation

Initial Review (10 points):
By the end of Module 1, post any questions about the content or requirement of the Portfolio assignment to the questions thread. If you have no questions, acknowledge that you have read the assignment by selecting which Portfolio Project you will do and post it to the Module 1 Critical Thinking Assignment in the posts section.

First Draft (20 points):
You will be required to submit a draft of your proposed Portfolio Project by the end of Module 5. It must be at least 4 pages or 4 slides in length in a Word or PowerPoint document, with an additional bibliographic list, properly APA-formatted, of the sources for that project. Additionally, you will be expected to account for the instructor’s feedback in the final version of the assignment.

In Module 8 you complete your Portfolio assignment. In it, develop a plan to fund your own new small business. Include at a minimum the following:

• description of the proposed business, including your reasoning for starting the business
• pertinent business plan information for large capital asset requirements
• a determination of how much capital the company will need, and time frame
• government aid that may be available
• an evaluation of legal issues such as the types of ownership, liabilities, and compliance with laws
• an accounting of how you applied the instructor’s feedback from your draft submitted in Module 5

Present your information in at least an 8-slide PowerPoint presentation with notes plus title and reference slides, or 8-page Word document plus title page, abstract, and reference page. Whichever method you choose, cite at least 4 outside resources (.org and .com sites are not to be used, but books, journal articles, .edu and .gov sites should be considered as possible avenues for resource materials) in addition to the course text and materials you studied in Modules 1-7, including feasibility analyses, business plans, and valuation of the business.

This, and all other course Portfolio Projects, will become an important part of your individual Program Portfolio.

You should begin to consider your Portfolio Project in Module 1. Start an outline of the information you wish to discuss. As more material is covered in future modules, you can add to what you have started.

Here is a sample power point presentation that will provide you added guidance in creating your slide presentation for this assignment. Of special note is that all presentations need substantial speaker's notes inserted under each slide in the speaker's notes section. Good luck in creating a "high impact presentation" for your audience!

In your answer please provide a separate outline for Module 1. for the 10 points

You will be required to submit a draft of your proposed Portfolio Project for Module 5. for the 20 points.
