While i'm off today was just wondering about plans for new year for my business.

Just been coasting last few years.

What is a business plan (basically)

Listing all your goals and breking them down into bite size pieces?
So for 5 years.
Would this be an example of a business plan guys?

yr 1) Build more compact round, increase hourly rate.

yr 2) get a better van and keep doing above.

yr 3) employ someone

yr 4) build another round to setup franchise.

yr 5) take over the world

Speak to the business gateway (they might be Scottish but I'm sure you lowlanders will have something similar).

They are very helpful, they will tell you how to make a business plan and also if any grants are available for you. Well worth half a day out to go and speak to them.

1) Work work work

2) increase prices

3) Continue to build a better business/  Get 10,000 flyers done soon as been putting off due to house move  

4) Make sure i dont employ anyone as i like it on my own

5) Improve business image.

 getting new uniform in 7 days keeping polo shirts but going for a V-neck sweater not sweatshirt this time .

6) Canvas , Clean , Cull  , one of best used phrases on here .  


I have been coasting along as well Lee over the last 4 yrs i have got some quality advice from this forum and this has changed the way i operate my business right across the board . Mike
