Start writing your business plan with INVenture . . . a business planning tool to successfully launch a new venture (formerly known as the AICC Business Planner). Because it can be difficult to know where to begin exploring a venture, this website helps you by asking key questions about what you want to do. After completing the online assessment process, either individually or with the assistance of a New Ventures Team member, you should be able to go to potential partners with a well-planned idea.

Helping entrepreneurs assess the potential of new value-added ventures is what we do, both through this website and the New Ventures Team.

The New Ventures Team of Extension Educators, with members in all regions of Indiana, provides assistance in the business development process through advice and educational materials.

If you would like one-on-one assistance with the business planner, then contact the New Ventures team at www.agecon.purdue.edu/new ventures.

The tutorial shows how the self-assessment tool will guide you, page-by-page, through the business planning process by asking simple questions, then compiling the answers into a business plan.
