Phillips Consulting Limited

The most common way that people go into business is to start their own. As start-up businesses do not have a proven product/service or an established customer base it is not surprising that many encounter difficulties and often do not succeed. Before you start to set-up your business it is vital that you consider carefully a range of important issues that will enable your business to be built on sound principles and fundamentals.

OBJECTIVE

The Enterprise Development: A Business Planning Approach course is aimed at helping participants crystallize their thought out concepts into creating new business enterprises. These ideas are written down in a business plan document. Every business should have an up-to-date business plan specifying the goals and objectives for the venture. The process is even more critically important for small business because it often lacks the staff and resources to compete on all fronts simultaneously. A well documented business plan will assist you to stay on track and keep focused. It should be a working document that is monitored, reviewed and updated regularly.

However, as the planning process is a means of formalizing your thoughts and ideas into a framework that will provide direction for your business, all business plans need to address a range of key elements and the following approach is provided as a guide:

What you will cover:

• Introduction to how to develop new business or project
• Business start-up
• Research stage
• Establishment stage
• How to write and implement a business plan
