The business plan, so in essence what you put together to form the basis of a good business plan. And one of the things that I've developed as a coach is to simplify to a single sheet of paper, if possible, the requirements of a business plan. So, there are four or five key ingredients that make business plan. It doesn't have to be the big document that you would take to the bank, for example, to increase your overdraft. These are very straight forward simple things that constitute a good plan.

And how it basically works is that we would start off with a 12 month plan of the goals that we want to achieve. And this would be four or five things that where we want to get to, so our destination as it were.

And from those 12 month goals, we would then put together a 90 day plan that would be working towards the delivery of those 12 month goals.

And then we need a marketing plan to support that. And a really easy way to do that, we put together 10 key marketing strategies and we track and measure those and they are the vehicle, if you like, for the road that we've set out that we want to drive along. The marketing strategies, the marketing plans to put along that road. This is one of the ways that we can then measure and track success or failure towards those goals, so a good strong marketing plan and a method to then track and measure where we are going.

And the last one which is the most important one is somebody to keep you on track and somebody to keep you accountable. I am what I call, your business [set mug]. So, that in essence is me. So, the business coach to come and either give you a hug or give you a kick out that backside if you are off track or you've been, you know, you are not on target. So, that's how you would plan for success, that's how I work with my clients and it's just been very successful.

For funding and to meet the banks requirements - Actually the Bank is the best place to go for that information. They will give you templates and documents and the information they will need to help make a decision about how much they would be prepared to lend you.

Once you have funding and a business to buy I can help you build plans that will make the business a success.
