Build Institute, an organization that helps people turn business ideas into reality through tools, resources, and support, has opened registration for summer classes.

Demand for the classes is very high, so don’t waste any time signing up for a class. Acceptance is based on a first-come, first-serve basis. You are successfully registered only when you receive the acceptance email from Build Institute and pay your non-refundable $50 deposit.

Course Description and Schedule

The Build Basics course is an eight week business and project planning course. It’s designed to be compatible with any type of business at any stage – idea, startup, or established.

With Build Basics, students will learn the essentials of starting a business, including licensing, market research, cash flow, and financial literacy. Students will exit the class with a completed business plan, a group of fellow entrepreneurs in Detroit, and the knowledge to transform their business idea into reality.
