Course overview

Finding customers and building a business around them are two sides of the same coin, and this course teaches both together. You will cover market research and understanding your target customer, branding and positioning, pricing, and low cost marketing channels suited to small and medium businesses.

On the entrepreneurship side, you will write a simple business plan, learn basic costing and pricing, and study the practical steps of registering and launching a small business in a Zambian context. It suits aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners and marketing assistants who want a practical, business first grounding rather than theory alone.
