❗️❗️❗️ LAST 10 SPACES ❗️❗️❗️❗

One of the most important stages of any business in creating the Business Plan. 👩🏼‍💻 It is this document that sets out your planning and test the viability of your planned enterprise. It can also be used to obtain funding and most banks will not lend money without a clear and detailed Business Plan. 🗓

We will then look at the importance of sustainability and how you can think more strategically in the long-term in order to grow the business or social enterprise. 📈 This will involve analysing the business and the market in which it will compete. Useful tools to do this include a SWOT and PESTEL analysis, which will be covered briefly. 🗂
