7 New Enterprise Allowance Free Workshops (Four Simple Steps to Business Success) Initial meeting with Enterprise Facilitator Personal Business Mentor (one to one or group format) Support with business planning New Enterprise Allowance payments Optional business loan up to 2,500 Sign posting to further sources of support

9 Why have a business plan? Because you have to have one! Applying for a loan Looking for investment Your support scheme demands one Because they should help you: Clarify your ideas and so be more likely to succeed Get focussed and stay focussed Control your business and make better decisions Not waste money
10 What makes a good business plan? Think of your reader! Use plain English Bullet points are encouraged Less is more, don t over complicate it Sections need flow logically, no 100% correct layout Nicely laid out Written using a word processor (ideally) Easily legible typeface and size Not too many graphics Sensible file size as it will be ed
11 Less is More Less of this (with apologies to the author ): So key strengths are the ability to identify what motivates the marketplace to engage with the company as investing with a view to profit is not always the main motivation so lifestyle changes, being an own boss, scaling up a company's resources or assisting them to scale the resource down and tailor technology to them and the same from personal qualities tolerance of ambiguity, open mind, persistence, achievement and low fear of failure to create a business that offers stability and in terms of organisational qualities happy to set obtainable objectives will still pushing for the best results and working with other people whilst planning out activities and accept risks associated.
12 Less is More More of this: I intend to offer a wide range of services and property repairs, including a 24 hour emergency call out facility. I have a good working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, building and roofing repairs. I intend to operate the business from my home address.
13 By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. (Benjamin Franklin ) FAIL TO PLAN, PLAN TO FAIL
