This workshop is for women living who have a business idea and are thinking about starting up their own business.

The Women’s Business Development Agency has put together this 'Planning for Your Business' workshop to help you identify the skills, knowledge and information required to develop and plan your business successfully! You will be guided through each section and discover exactly what is needed to complete your business plan.

A Business Plan is exactly what is says it is: a plan of your business! It’s nothing to be scared about, but you will need to put down on paper everything you plan for your business. And it doesn’t matter what stage of your business you are at. It’s a working document and even if you have one, then it’s worth revising it.

Here are some comments from the last workshop:

“It was invaluable and extremely helpful.”

“The workshop showed me how important it is to plan my business properly from the start.”

“It helped to demystifying a business plan, giving structure and the real tools to move forward.”

“Well structured, good pace, great additional back up information provided plus a great trainer and excellent start and finished times.”

“Very useful and more of these should be conducted as they are an eye opener and answer most, if not all, questions to setting up a business.”
