The NxLevel Entrepreneur Business Plan Course

(Our Next Series Starts Tuesday September 28, 2010 - 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. At the Kent Campus)

65 Most Common Reasons Businesses Fail
I just read an article titled, "65 Most Common Reasons Businesses Fail." The bottom line of the article is that most businesses don't have a well thought out written business plan that helps them avoid the most common reasons why businesses fail. The Nxlevel Entrepreneur Course positions you to research, dream, vision, and plan for the growth and success of your business.

Business Planning that Gets Results
One of the reasons we enjoy teaching this course is because it gets results. NxLevel Graduates have shown up to 200% increase in sales in their first year after the class. When compared to the 8% average growth of Washington Businesses the NxLevel course is very exciting. You will increase the value of your business and improve your chances of survival by participating in this course.
