Validate your business idea — from idea to project
About Course
Welcome to the free first step of the “Starting a business” learning path. This beginner-level course takes you right from the start: that small idea running around in your head, which you don’t yet know how to turn into a solid project.
You start from scratch: the entrepreneur’s mindset, how good ideas are born (a problem before a solution), market research, knowing your ideal customer, mapping everything out with the Business Model Canvas, then testing cheaply with an MVP. Every concept is backed by concrete examples and real figures, set in the French context (micro-enterprise status, URSSAF, INPI).
By the end, you will know whether your idea holds up, who it really serves, how it makes money, and how to test it before investing time and budget. It is the essential groundwork before moving on to the business plan, funding and company registration later in the path.
