The very first step when starting a business is to have an idea which will become a project that must meet three essential elements:

 

  • An idea that answers a need
  • An entrepreneur
  • Resources

 

In order to allow you to explore, assess and validate an idea, it is recommended that the vision comes from a sector of activity that corresponds to your skills, your personal aspirations as well as the needs of the market.  We are presenting some steps to undertake to allow you to ponder on your idea.  The goal is to transform your idea into a business opportunity.
