Achieve your ultimate business goals – business planning
Organiser
CUE Ltd is offering a series of bespoke workshops through the Coventry and Warwickshire Business Support Programme, the workshops are part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
If you have an Innovative Technology-based Business idea and have not yet started a business please see whether our FREE Business Planning workshop would help you.
Your Business Plan should reflect the current reality of your business, the potential of the business, the environment in which it operates, and your present and future goals. Defining your objectives and strategies to achieve your ultimate goals will help give you a sense control of your business and enable you to assess what’s working or indeed needs improving. Blue Sky and CUE Ltd offer this workshop to explore the key reasons a Business Plan is needed from both an investment and operational perspective.
