Co-operative Futures Services - Business planning

Services for Co-operative and Community Owned Enterprises

Business planning

Business planning is a valuable tool for all enterprises as it defines what your organisation is aiming to achieve over a certain period in time. It also provides a template for you to sell the business to supporters such as funders, landlords and your community. By doing this, it focuses on where you are going and how you will get there, ensuring all areas of the business are addressed.

Business plans never stand still, and should be referred to and used constantly.They are always best written by the organisation themselves. You don’t need to worry if you have never written a business plan before. Co-operative Futures can help you compile a plan, ensuring it contains all the relevant information and that it meets your community needs.

Co-operative Futures has wide experience of working with groups in the business planning process, and will help everyone to take part and make their contribution.
