About PSEPbizPlan

PSEPbizPlan is specifically designed to help Pesticide Safety Education Programs develop a strategic business plan. Business planning is commonly used by businesses and can also help educational programs. Developing a business plan can help PSEP programs obtain sustainable funding, improve program management, and more effectively communicate the value and purpose of the program. While the resulting plan is valuable, the business planning process of thinking through and evaluating all aspects of the program may be equally valuable.
