The Importance of a Business Plan Workshop

Council-run workshop where you'll build out a practical business plan with guidance, useful if you're turning an idea into something real.

You'll walk through building an actual business plan from scratch, working through the sections that matter most to lenders and investors. The council-run format means it's stripped of sales pitch and focused on the practical mechanics: market research, financial projections, competitive positioning, and how to stress-test your assumptions. This is useful if you're moving past the idea stage and need a structured framework before approaching funding or commitment. Most attendees are solo founders and small business owners in the early validation phase, not seasoned operators.
