Too often, small business owners open their doors without clear plans to help them get where they want to go. As a result, most start-up businesses end in failure. But the planning for a business seems too onerous, time-consuming and often beyond the understanding of anyone without a firm grasp of accounting. Because entrepreneurs often don’t know what they don’t know, they start a business without realising the risks and what needs to be in place. And soon they find themselves in trouble.

In this presentation, qualified accountant and international speaker, Grant Vernon, will help you plan for success. In his witty, down to earth style he will show you what you need to have in place upfront, how to create a budget and forecast business performance and how to set the benchmarks you need to hit on your way to success. With the mystery taken out of the planning process, you will be able to relax and enjoy the ride.
