A year ago, my husband and I decided to open a grocery store. So, we made the calculations, wrote a business plan, took a loan from the bank. And right at the very first steps, we realized that everything is much more complicated, than we thought in the beginning. Also, we realized we lack real business skills, and that there is no way back, and we can’t hire a manager. Adding to that, there was sim too much at stake: our dreams about our business, self-confidence, credit. We accidentally found Virtonomics. And did not expect it to be that exciting and, most importantly, useful. This does not seem to be either boring like theoretical books or abstract like some workshops. This is a very realistic business simulation game, which makes it possible to experiment, make mistakes, but without harm to your real business. For business greenhorns like us, this is the most useful thing for training we managed to find.

We created a copy of our future store in the simulation and began to learn how to manage and develop our virtual business. We made a lot of mistakes, made many attempts to start anew, and that's what saved us. We learned from our own mistakes, but without risk to our real business, and that is the most valuable.

We finally decided to start the real thing, but only after we managed to get our virtual retail business profitable three consecutive times in a row. Business simulation gave us real practical experience and a systematic understanding of how business operates. We saved tens of thousands of dollars and avoided making a lot of mistakes. I believe Virtonomics is an experience any entrepreneur must gain; this is a fantastically effective tool. Our current business has reached a sustainable profit, and we are opening a second store. Thanks, Virtonomics!

Hello! I'm Steve. I have a small furniture shop. I make affordable and high-quality authorized furniture. Orders are growing and my capacities are not enough. I understood that we need to expand production and open our own stores.

I am good at making furniture, there is a demand for my products, but in business management I don’t fair too well. Managing a small furniture production workshop, where I have a couple of employees, is one thing. And to manage a growing company with stores, offices and all that stuff, is something absolutely different. Different management skills are required, which I do not possess yet. I read many books on management, but I needed a real practice, and yet it was still unclear how to get it in reality. Nobody will allow you to manage their business, and experimenting on your business is too risky. Workshops and books are useful, but this is not a solution if you are looking to gain practical skills. That’s how I found Virtonomics business simulation on the internet. This turned out to be exactly what I needed.

I built a virtual company in the simulation - production and sale of furniture, and began growing successful business out of it. I think I did every managerial mistake that there is on the books out there. Several times my virtual company went bankrupt. Started anew five times, but still brought the company to a stable growing profit. Only after that I undertook the expansion of my real business. Increased production capacity 8 times, opened 2 furniture stores, stable growth, normal rise!
