Overview

Prospective business owners sometimes wonder if they really need to write a business plan, particularly if they’re not seeking a bank loan. However, if you want to clarify your thinking, set a tone and direction for your business, and a deeper understanding of your market, the answer is certainly ‘yes you do’. 

Main topics covered

This workshop covers:

  • what should be included in your plan and why
  • how a marketing plan fits into your business plan
  • why you need a financial strategy
  • how a SWOT analysis will help you identify your business opportunities

You’ll receive a practical workbook that will form a draft plan for your own business, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

Who it's for

Anyone who is:

  • in the early stages of starting their business
  • needs to secure external funding
  • already has a business but wants to develop a plan to clarify their thinking and look for new opportunities.

 No previous business knowledge is required to attend this workshop.

Testimonials

My experience with SBDC was excellent. I recently did the Business Planning workshop online, I've done a few planning workshops over the years, and I found this one very practical and personalised. The information was easy to understand and the facilitator provided lots of examples that were relevant for my new business. In my case, I was also able to back up the session with a follow-up phone call to get some specific information. Such good value for money, possibly the best $20 I have spent all year.
