Is your business part of the One In Five Club? So, what’s this club? Well, if you don’t want to lose your dream business then it’s not the club you want to join. What you need is then is a guiding hand to help you on the road to business success.

Business plans tend to ‘frightened’ away some business owners, for various reasons, but possibly because we usually don’t know where to start or how to put one together, or it simply may be that we don’t think we really need one. Planning plays a major role in determining whether your business succeeds or fails.  According to Donna-Marie Coggins from Jacaranda Business Support

Without a focused, tailored business plan your business is far more likely to join the One In Five Club – one in five small businesses fail within the first five years.

If business planning is one of those things you’d rather not think about then it’s always best to get the experts in to help, support and guide you along. Donna-Marie has a business support service and I’m sure she would be happy to answer any queries about business planning and the reasons for having one. Her blog Small Business Diva is also full of useful business tips which can help you in the everyday running and organising of your business.

Every now and then we need to do a check on how we’re managing our business and if it’s working. An ‘outsider’, preferably an expert can usually see things about your business that you don’t. It’s worth to have them help out even if it’s periodically and to point you in the right direction.

Make a note of Jacaranda Business Support – you may need them some day.
