A snapshot of what's inside
Writing a business plan
Expectations are important – a business plan maps out what your business' expectations are and how you expect to achieve them. It's a key document in organising your thoughts and proving plans to potential owners. We go through what it needs to include and why.
Getting your first customers
You’re set up and ready for your first sale, but customers are unlikely to simply start flocking to you. It’s up to you to seek them out, build their trust, appeal to their needs and land those sales. We show you how.
Finding funding
Even if you’ve got a stash of savings squirreled away to spend on your business, chances are you’ll need some extra funding to be able to get things off the ground. The guide highlights some funding options and how to acquire them.
Building a work crowd
Naturally, you’ll have a picture in your head of the ideal people you’re looking for, but actually finding these people takes time, commitment and good judgement. Learn who to hire first, perfect a recruitment process and how to define job roles.
Useful resources
Successful entrepreneurs are constantly learning. No matter their schedule, innovators will find time to absorb and improve, in their own field and beyond. Whether you get on better with books, audio or tools, we’ve got the recs for you based on what successful CEOs have been inspired by.
