Recent Review:
Amy T. says: "Great course, I've been wanting to start a dog walking business but I didn't know how to go about it, like how do I find customers, do I need to do anything legally, etc. All that and more was covered in the course. Really happy with it!"
Why You Should Take This Course With Me:
Starting a business of any sort is a large endeavor. While the actual day to day business (in this case Dog Walking), are probably something you are passionate about and looking forward to, its all the other aspects of running a business that can be overwhelming. Do you need a business license? How do you estimate how much you'll make? What are your expenses? Do you need a business bank account? How do you find clients? How much will marketing cost? And more!
Don't worry! I'm here to help you! By the end of this course you will have answers to all your questions, and if you don't you can email me and I'll answer them for you!
My goal with this course is to make sure you feel 100% confident and ready to start your business. In the course we'll be covering the topics below:
What We Cover In The Course:
Picking a name for your business
Do you need a business license?
Should you get a business bank account?
Who is your target market?
How do you market your business? Should you spend money on it?
How much should you charge?
How will your customers pay you?
What schedule will you keep?
And much more!
At any point if you have a question, please feel free to ask through the course forum, I'd be happy to answer any and all questions.

Chris Benjamin, MBA & CFO is a seasoned professional with over 20 years experience in accounting, finance, financial reporting, and small business, and also dogs! Having spent the first 10 years of my career in corporate settings with both large and small companies, I learned a lot about the accounting process, managing accounting departments, financial reporting, external reporting to board of directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and working with external auditors.

I help implement proper best business practices in accounting and finance, consult on implementation of accounting systems, implementing accounting procedures, while also still fulfilling the CFO roll for many of my clients which includes financial reporting, auditing, working with investors, financial analysis and much more.

Viele Informationen nebenbei, an die man nicht denkt, die aber wichtig sind. Mit diesen Informationen hat der apathische Dozent den Kurs begonnen und ich bin mir sicher, dass ich sehr viel lernen werde. Bis jetzt bewerte ich den Kurs mit fünf Sternen und ich bin mir sicher, dass er sie auch verdient.

The instructor is very clear and good at explaining. The only thing I would complain about is that it would be helpful to be little bit more visual.
By Victoria Embrack on 11/5/2020
Had already opened my dog walking business, but took this course to see if I was missing anything. Through this course, I figured out that I am on the right path, and got some additional bonus information! Thank you.
By Christine Wlasitz on 8/31/2020
It is a good match so far. It is very easy to listen to and covers specific points without info that isn't needed. I greatly appreciate the info in regards to the Limited liabilty corporation. It is explained quite well that the cost outways what could cost with no protection.
By Sara Williams on 7/3/2020
I found most of the content very interesting however the first lecture re the charts was rather long and I lost interest, however I do appreciate it is an important aspect of the running of a business
By Patricia avery on 6/30/2020
instructor spoke clearly and gave great examples .He wasnt to technical and spoke on a level where he could be understood..i will recommend this class to others interested in starting this type of business.
By Cary Poteat on 6/29/2020
I was interested in the course because I've been thinking about growing my dog walking side-gig into something bigger. I wanted to learn more about the business side of things.
By Adam Sharman on 6/15/2020
Good start to what I need to look at and do before I try to start a business. Some of the information I will have to see if it is relevant to here in Australia (legal/company structures) before I go ahead.
By Suzanne Connolly on 5/11/2020
I enjoyed the course and it covered a lot of different aspects of creating your own business but as it was based around USA options rather than the UK ones which I'd need, not all applied to me. I would also prefer some demos rather than just talking throughout.
By Lorna Patrick on 5/8/2020
Very interesting content. Learned a lot from Excel lecture but instructor went a bit fast so I will watching it again and taking notes. Enjoying the course and I’m looking forward to learning more!
