Business Planning Unwrapped

Thinking of starting something new?

Unsure if your business idea is feasible or if your vision will make sense to others?

Need a business plan to get the funding you need?

Our course will demystify business planning and provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to take a structured approach to preparing for and writing a great business plan that is easy to share and use.

A good business plan will bring clarity to your business idea and help you share your vision with others.

Whether you are involved in a business, charity or another organisation, the principles and benefits of a good business plan are the same. A business plan will tell your story. It will describe the future you wish to create as well as the strategy and activity plan to achieve it.

In any business planning exercise, there are two tasks: the planning work and writing the plan document.

Before you write the document, the work starts with a detailed assessment of where you are and where you would like to be? We’ll outline a six-step process to guide you through the thinking and analysis that goes into this planning work.

The course includes a one hour meeting with an advisor to relate the content to you and your organisation.

What Our Customers Say

It was hugely encouraging to work with an advisor who both understands the values that we aspire to as an organisation, and also offers concrete recommendations, based upon practical experience, to enable us to be more effective as a board and as an organisation.

Excellent sessions, engaging and useful to my job role. Thank you!

A competent and experienced facilitator who was able to get the best from those taking part. It was an easy decision to invite Fresh Management Solutions back to facilitate this next session. Would recommend them very highly to others looking to develop their business.

The ways in which the training made me think about different frameworks for planning, decision-making and monitoring projects will undoubtedly be useful in the future. Getting a professional qualification is a really nice bonus as it shows that the training was leading towards something in the short-term.

Very well delivered with a good amount of discussion and content. Very useful for my area of practice and throughout I could link the content to my work area.
