Background

In Cameroon, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) generate 35% of GDP and provide about 70% of the country’s jobs.  However, they continue to suffer from the lack of funding that sharply reduces their contribution to the country’s economic development(Protais Ayangma, 2020). Among the causes related to the difficult access of Cameroonian SMEs to finance, we note in particular the fact that they remain trapped in the informal sector (National Institute of Statistics, 2018). Combined with the fact that they would not have a business plan, most of these companies although having a bank account cannot obtain credit. However, after defining its business model and drawing up the cash flow, it becomes easy for a company to develop a business plan, which can be seen as a first step towards the formalization process. In order to fill the knowledge gap of entrepreneurs regarding: the business model, cash flow and business plan, the Centre for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (SBEC) of the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation offers online training. 

Objective 

This training therefore aims to strengthen the capacities of entrepreneurs with regard to: the business model, cash flow and business plan. Specifically it will be: 

• Present the writing canvas of a business model, a business plan and a cash flow (spread); 
• Present the techniques for implementing a business plan;  
• Discuss strategies to formalize an economic activity at a lower cost or without fees
