I built this course because I passionately believe that small businesses and entrepreneurship are the lifeblood of the economy. In the United States, small businesses provide 49.2% of net new private sector jobs. In the UK, small and medium size enterprises account for 60% of private sector jobs.Entrepreneurs and small business owners do not have affordable access to expensive consultants and advisors, so I created this online course based on my 20+ years of starting and running my own businesses as well as consulting to large corporates.The online course brings together best practice as well as a pragmatic approach to building a business plan.

**Do You Want To Start Your Own Business But Don't Know Where To Start? **

Many people have great business ideas. Business ideas that could become a sustainable income for them and their families, ideas that could create jobs, ideas that could make the world a better place. Unfortunately many of these ideas never see the light of day and fail as actual businesses. The reasons for this are numerous. People with good ideas or very specific skills and abilities are often not good or experienced business people, or simply lack the confidence to start and run a business. Many people try and fail, while some may achieve mediocre success.The issues that entrepreneurs face could be as easily solved as perhaps sticking to a business start-up checklist, or they could be a little more challenging such as understanding the difference between profitability and cash-flow. They could also be complex problems such as designing a profitable business model based on their ideas, or wondering how to fund planned business growth and expansion.

**How Do Successful Businesses Do It? **

This is not to say that larger businesses and corporate organisations do not experience similar problems. The difference however is that these larger organisations have greater resources at their disposal. They can hire the expertise they require, engage the services of a consultant or spend valuable resources working around challenges and problems. Many start ups and smaller businesses do not have affordable access to these types of resources and this video training course aims to provide an easy to refer to guide and quick start to crafting and defining a detailed business plan.

**How Can a Business Plan Help? **

So why is having a business plan so important? Especially when we hear from the likes of the Silicon Valley startups that business plans are outdated and that businesses need to be more agile and pivot in new directions. Well, there is a lot that makes sense in this train of thought, things like testing your business idea, creating a minimum viable product, getting your customers to use it, and changing direction when things aren’t working.The last point is important. But how do you know things aren’t working, when things are not going according to plan? What objectives and targets have you set for your business? How had you planned to achieve those objectives and targets? Having a business plan will help you understand all of this.

**What Does a Good Business Plan Look Like? **

Your business plan doesn't need to be hundreds of pages but instead needs to be a succinct document that clearly states your business’s objectives and how you plan on achieving those objectives. Nor will you blindly follow your plan when things are not working. Importantly, your business plan will help you understand when and where things are not going well, helping you make the necessary decisions to correct the issues at hand. The business plan also has additional uses, such as attracting investors, business partners, potential first hires, and securing finance.
