Make no mistake! Developing and exploiting your ideas IS A BUSINESS and all successful businesses need a plan. For many of us the very idea of getting involved in strategies, profit and loss accounts, cash flows etc, is a nightmare. But, without a plan, however rudimentary, your project WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY FAIL.
There are many sources of help – banks, accountants, Business Link, Enterprise Agencies, to name but a few – and some will simply give you a form, others will work with you, and some will do it all for you – for a fee! We also can help you with your business planning at all three of the above levels. However, our strength is that we understand inventors and the inventive process.
A useful start would be for you to work through our FREE Qest - Self Evaluation Pack.
