Part 1
Homework Activity: Choose a Business Idea
The assignments in this course build and expand on a small business or startup idea to research and get feedback on. In this activity, you will submit your business idea for approval. Be sure to consider the following before you submit your idea:
• In one paragraph, explain why you chose this business idea and why it could be successful.
o Feel free to submit a business you have already launched or one for which you have already begun planning.
o Do not select a business that is already a major corporation (for example, Tesla, Uber, or TGIF). Choose a business or side gig that you might actually start.
o Please do not use a not-for-profit venture as your business idea. These types of entities do not match up with the overall structure of this class.
• Once approved, this business idea must be used in all the assignments.
