How this programme can help you
Deciding to start your own business marks a
major personal milestone for every individual
However making that decision and actually doing something
about it are two different things.
Making the decision to find out more marks the start of what
will be an exploration of what needs to be done and put in
place to help you evaluate the potential risks and benefits in
starting a business.
Many who begin this exciting journey start out with a specific
business in mind and while this is an excellent starting point,
there are also many who quite like the idea of starting a
business but have not, as yet, identified a business proposition
that they wish to develop.

And then there are some who begin the journey with a
specific business activity in mind but in the course of the
journey through training process and the subsequent
evaluation of their original business proposition, a decision is
made to drop project in favour of an alternative.
All these circumstances are equally valid and this programme
will familiarise participants with the Business Planning
process which will provide them with the tools and
techniques to evaluate a business idea, test it’s viability
without risk and bring together the business idea into a plan
that can be implemented.
This “Start Your Own Business” programme now makes this
popular and effective programme available to everyone on a
24/7 basis.

Participation in this on-line programme means that participants can enrol at any time and
complete the programme in their own time with the support of on-line tutors if required.
Other benefits include:
• Convenience of learning at home, place of work or other preferred location
• Available around the clock
• Ability to be able to learn at your own pace
• eTutor Support provided as required
Starting your own business could be the best decision you ever made and we look
forward to helping you get started rather than just thinking about it.
So let’s move on to the next topic and take it one step at a time….. here goes!

This “Start Your Own Business” programme is made up of
a series of modules spread across the following five subject matter areas:
• Finance
• Marketing
• The Product or Service on offer
• How the Business will operate
• and the People/Roles involved in the start up business.
Each of the above subject matter areas or pillars of business are then broken down into
smaller specialist areas – for example Finance breaks down into Financial Planning,
Financial Management and so on while Marketing breaks down into Market Research,
Selling and Marketing operations.
Each of these five pillars of business are interconnected and are key elements in the
business planning process – hence their importance in the whole process of starting a
business.
How the programme works

In the course of the programme, each participant will
navigate their way through each of the key subject matter
areas and from time to time, their understanding of the
subject matter involved will be tested by means of a short
quiz, multiple choice questions or a short assignment.
Some of these may even be against the clock!
Progression to the next lesson may depend on the
participant’s score.
Participants can make their way through this programme at
their own pace and complete it within their own timescale.
Each person has their own individual learning curve – however, it is recommended that
participants go on-line each day and cover as many modules or specialist subject matter
areas as time permits.

On completion of the programme, participants should
be able to:
• Understand the business planning process
• Prepare a business plan
• Clearly understand the need for market research
• Appreciate the interlocked nature of the business
pillars
• Be in a position where they can test the viability of the
business proposition
• Assess the potential risk and the potential benefit of the
proposition.
• Start trading as soon as possible
