How to start and run a small business

=INTRODUCTION: =

Due to the global economic recession the role of the private sector becomes increasingly vital. We thought that it is about time to install the concept of private business as an alternative for public sector jobs and to present the private sector as a major contributor in developing and building our country. We are here to give our students the best possible real life work experience allow students to learn about the day-to-day functions of entrepreneurs and small business owners, how to start a business, design it and learn from multiple failures and successes of running their own virtual small business. Most successful entrepreneurs start early, it's helpful to talk to them about what it's like to own a business and even better to start business and teach them skills that will be useful to them.

The students should be able to study the market to decide its needs, come up with a business plan for a profit or a nonprofit project, advertise for their product through various media and assess the revenue or losses assisted by the modern technology as a facilitator. Through the unit students will be able to incorporate their computer knowledge, English writing and presentation skills ,necessary mathematical concepts.This unit is designed fro grade eight students.

//Dear students: "there are many lessons to learn and the sooner you learn them, the more likely you are to be successful at a younger age."//
