BUSINESS LIFE allows anyone new to business to progress through the important stages of planning, starting and running a business - no prior business knowledge is required.
Delivered by the University of Warwick Science Park in the Advantage West Midlands area, the full programme comprises 64 sets of easy-to-read modules and factsheets, many with accompanying templates for documents such as business plans, cash flow forecasts and marketing brochures.
The module sets run in a logical sequence, with mentoring and feedback from professional advisers every step of the way.
The first 16 module sets lead to starting a business and the following 48 provide essential information about running and growing a business. Modules can be downloaded from the Members' Area of this website as required, although the first 16 module sets are also available on the BUSINESS LIFE "START YOUR BUSINESS" CD.
The programme was trialled over 12 months with around 150 new businesses and proved to be a spectacular success - the programme achieved a 95% approval rating from members in an anonymous survey undertaken by University staff. And, best of all, the programme made a real difference to the sustainability of new businesses.
