About This Event

Business planning is a necessary exercise when in starting and wanting to grow your business successfully and more effectively. To attract funding or target new markets will only succeed when a robust business plan is in place.

This workshop will ensure that you have a business plan with a clear strategy; accurately assessing, examining and evaluating what you are trying to accomplish and what are the best ways to do so. Developing an effective plan that will be realistic, and help you take into account your skills and experience, and what financial resources you have or will need to secure.

Writing a plan helps you think about what you will be doing, how you are going to do it, anticipate potential pitfalls and the competitive threats you face.

The danger of not planning your business is having to learn as you go along which can be a costly and expensive path to choose.
