Mini Business Plan

Mini business plan

This mini business plan can be completed before your first meeting with a consultant. Writing 10-15 lines about each point gives the consultant a good impression of you and your business, and you will probably receive better advice as a result.

If you have already prepared a business plan or committed your plans or ideas to paper in some other way, you can send this instead.

Alternatively, use the plan as a common point of reference when discussing your business together. It is important to consider these questions before starting your own business.
