10 advisers on Enterprise Nation who will help you write a winning business plan

Posted: Sun 20th Feb 2022

Starting a business isn’t just about opening your doors or launching your website. From registering your company to crafting a marketing strategy, there’s lots to consider. Which is why, regardless of what sort of business you’re launching, writing a business plan is vital.

Your business plan is your road map; a document that explains what your business is, what the short-term and long-term objectives of the business are, and how exactly you’ll achieve those goals. As the old saying goes; "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail."

Enterprise Nation has recently launched a diagnostic tool - Make a Plan - that allows business owners to assess exactly what support they need, fast.

48% of users told us that they’re yet to write their business plan (or are currently in the process of writing it). Are you one of those people? If so, you’re in luck! Here’s ten advisers that you can connect with on Enterprise Nation who will help you create a winning business plan.
