This "Business Plan Workshop" by Brian Dolan is a refreshingly simple approach to writing your business plan and will cover the following areas:

• This workshop is designed to help you to write an effective simple business plan and create cash flow projections for your new or existing small business in a very short time.
• Clear practical examples combined with common sense tips and advice are designed to point the writer firmly towards the creation of a well-structured plan that can be rapidly read and thoroughly understood by organisations such as Local Enterprise Offices, LEADER, Banks and other agencies providing grant support & funding.
• The content and information required for your business plan will translate very closely for any grant or funding application, and you will understand better how to approach filling out any grant application form after writing your business plan developed from this workshop.
• Business plans written using this workshop as a reference and guide gives you consistency in format and design, with the information easily and quickly accessible so that your funder or grant provider can accurately evaluate the proposal in the shortest time possible.
• If you are starting your own business, developing your existing business or you are sourcing funds for a particular project, a clear concise business plan will assist you in organising your ideas, goals, and finances into one document.
• The business plans referenced in this Workshop are all from real businesses, having earned loans from Banks, grants from Local Enterprise Offices and LEADER, or support from a Credit Union, ranging from €10,000 to €650,000.
• Your first business plan can often be challenging, with so many decisions to be made regarding content and format that it can seem very daunting on first sight. Writing your business plan does not have to be complicated and stressful: Using the information from this workshop, you can quickly create a competent accurate document that best represents your own business.
• This business plan workshop takes the mystery out of writing a business plan, helping you to put your ideas into an easily understandable and readable format, familiar to the business reader evaluating your project or application.
• You can use this workshop to write your business plan easier and faster than any template, and the top tips will show you exactly what is important to include in each section to explain your business idea quickly and clearly.
• You will leave with a clear understanding how to write your business plan, and from that, complete your funding application.
• Individual advice and help for your project will be available from the trainer on the day.
