Master Your Business Plan – Dorset Growth Hub

There’s an old maxim ‘If you fail to plan, you plan to fail’. This was never so true as in the world of business. Starting a business is very easy. Sustaining that business and making it successful takes an effort and planning. However, too many people see business planning as an unnecessary inconvenience or they are not sure where to start.

• Have you started a business recently or want to start soon?

• Are you struggling to get your ideas down on paper?

• Wanting to pivot or diversify within an existing business?

• Not quite sure of the best place to start?

If so then register for a free place on this Business Planning Webinar which will help understand how a business plan can be your roadmap to business success. You will gain a good understanding of how an effective business plan will be a vital document as you grow a viable business. It will give you the tools to research your business and to write a meaningful business plan from scratch or revisit and update one you’ve previously written.

Why should I attend?

Businesses that want to grow successfully, to attract funding or target new markets will only succeed when a robust business plan is in place.
