Are you about to start your new small business?
Have you started a new business in the last twelve months?
Has your business gone stale and does it need a shot in the arm?
This course will take you through all aspects of starting and running a small business, from the very beginning to selling it at the end. It is based on the tutor's 5* rated book “A Pocket Guide to Small Business Success” and is a real-world course based on 25 years' practical experience of running companies. It isn't the typical Silicon Valley “be a billionaire by Friday” course and deals with real on the ground issues faced by all normal people in normal day to day businesses.

Documents and Templates are included
The course provides template business plans and projection spreadsheets and other generic documents for the student to download for their own use.
What you will get from the course
Students will get a gentle guiding hand in the overall running and progress of their business. The tutors' book has been described as a “friendly, experienced voice whispering in your ear on each stage of your journey, reminding you of what to watch out for and giving you ideas of how to make it better along the way” and this has been brought through into the course. Access to the tutor via email and discussion is available for all students with no limit to access. This course is a good way of having a non-executive director on board without having to employ one.
