For people working on their first business.

You might not call yourself a founder yet. You may simply have something you’d like to sell, a service you’d like to offer, or a problem you think you could solve.

BizWizard gives you a way to explore that idea and learn what’s involved in making it a business.

You have an idea outside your day job

Work through the idea with your actual time and responsibilities in mind. Consider what you can test before making a larger commitment, and keep a record you can return to between sessions.

You’re developing a side business

Maybe you’ve made a few sales or helped people informally. Now you need to think about pricing, finding more customers, and whether you can deliver the work consistently.

You’re a student or recent graduate

Apply what you’re learning to your own idea. Work through customer research and business decisions whether you’re in an entrepreneurship class or exploring independently.

You’re changing careers or leaving the military

Your experience may give you a starting point for a business. BizWizard helps you explore the business side, identify what you still need to learn, and consider the time and resources involved.

You’re still deciding whether to pursue it

You don’t have to commit to launching before you start learning. Work through what would need to be true, what you can test, and what the results mean for your decision.

It doesn’t have to be a tech startup

A local service, a product you make, a consulting business, or a software idea can each raise questions about customers, pricing, and delivery. BizWizard’s guidance is intended to connect those questions to the business you’re considering.
