June's Theme - Business Plans

Alan Sugar’s search for an Apprentice finally came to an end, when he crowned Ricky Martin the outright winner. The prize is a £250,000 investment into a business venture conceived by him. Ricky’s idea was a recruitment business in a niche sector.

This month, the challenge for the Intellectual Dinner Club is to create a business plan for your dream business.

Some ideas of what to put in your business plan include:

·         What you want to do

·         What you would need to do it e.g. shop, premises, training etc

·         A 3-5 year plan

·         How much money would it make?

·         How would it be marketed?

Please note, you don’t have to include all of the above, these are just suggested guidelines. But don’t be afraid to dream as big or as small as you would like!
