También conocerás conceptos clave como posicionamiento, branding, propuesta de valor y promoción.

Ideal para quienes quieren impulsar su negocio desde cero o fortalecer su presencia en el mercado con recursos limitados pero bien aprovechados.

  • Finanzas básicas – para tu negocio

Este programa está diseñado para emprendedores, propietarios de pequeñas empresas y profesionales que desean fortalecer la salud financiera de sus negocios desde los fundamentos. A través de conceptos claros y aplicables, aprenderás a gestionar ingresos y gastos, establecer presupuestos, calcular precios correctamente, manejar el flujo de caja y tomar decisiones financieras informadas.
