Business Planning Workshop

Is your business achieving what you want it to achieve? Do you know where you're heading? Do you have a business plan?

Having something in writing that defines your business's direction is an important foundation for any business. It gives you a reference point to monitor the ongoing performance of your business and makes sure you're on track.

If you're unsure where to start, what to include and what the point is - then this workshop is for you! Particularly if you're missing out on opportunities, struggling to overcome hurdles or feeling anxious about your business.

  • Anyone looking to start a business
  • Business owners who are ambitious to grow
  • Small businesses who want to achieve more
  • SMEs who are frustrated with where they're at

  • Clearly defined goals and objectives for the next year
  • Better marketing position (an edge over your competitors!)
  • Sales projections for the next 12 months
