Stowmarket and District Chamber of Commerce
In collaboration with Suffolk FSB
Present, a ‘Learn, Laugh and Loiter’ business supper:-

Are We Lost?
an Evening of Planning For Me and My Better Business

None of us sets out for a journey
without a map or a SatNav, do
we?
Then why do so many of us run
our business without knowing
where we are, or much idea
where we are going, or how we
will know that we have arrived?
Illustration by Alison Withers

If you think accounts are done several weeks after your year end and a business plan is:



something other people do when
they want a bank loan
too difficult
in your head





will be wrong anyway
only needed if you have a big
business
something you need an accountant
to complete

You are probably making much less profit than you deserve.
You certainly need to come to the Learn Laugh and Loiter business supper “Are We Lost?”

Monday, March 17th at Stowmarket Golf Club from 6:30 p.m.
Our talented members and committee will have fun helping you have fun, making these basic business
management practices simple to understand and implement.
Who should attend?
Anyone who does not yet have a business plan they refer to daily, measure themselves against, and
update every three months. Anyone who is not growing their business as fast as they would like. Anyone
who has a business that is not as profitable as they would like. Anyone who has a business and likes a bit
of fun.
What will happen?
There will be a series of short presentations and collaborative workshop tasks that will contribute to your,
one-page, refer- to-everyday business plan. There will be a cash bar and a tasty supper. There may even
be a rib tickling surprise - but you’ll have to be there!
There will definitely be much scribbling of notes and laughter and the possible realisation of something that
feels a lot like a plan that might work a little better. All this for £15 (members) £20 (non-members)
