We are excited to be attending the Peterborough Biscuit event, taking place Wednesday 9 February. The popular event is designed to showcase local businesses and celebrate the diverse products and services that they deliver.

A sound business plan and strategy are critical to business success and we are offering free 30 minute sessions on the day to give you hints and tips for a winning business plan. Visit us at stand G3 to book a convenient time to chat with our experienced advisor – first come first served!

Not having enough planning and preparation before launching products or services into the market is the reason a vast majority of start-ups fail within the first 5 years. If you don’t have a plan, you don’t have anything concrete to work towards, and it’s easy to get side-tracked from your original goal because something else seems more exciting and profitable at the time. Your business plan outlines what your business does and what you are trying to achieve. It explains what the market opportunity is, what makes your business special and how you will make it a success.

Writing a business plan will help you:

• Check that your idea makes sense
• Plan your sales, marketing and business operations
• Identify problems and how to overcome them
• Set out your objectives and the financial return you expect
• Work out what financing you need
• Convince other people to back your business

Don’t forget to register to attend if you haven’t already.
