Spread over 12 weeks, this three-day course covers everything you need to know to enable you to write a business plan to raise money. It also encourages you to express your business idea on paper to clarify your mind and reveal your uncertainties and weaknesses, and develop strategies for overcoming them.

The first session explains what the business plan is for, who it is for, its length and content, its structure and information gathering. Participants are then given three weeks to gather the information necessary for the plan, before returning for the second session, which covers the narrative of the plan, its style and presentation. Participants are given further time to begin the writing of their plan and return for the third session by appointment, which is provided on a one-to-one basis where they obtain feedback and guidance on the development of their plan.
