Lunch and Learn: Understanding the purpose and benefits of a business plan

11 August 2025, 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm

Do you regularly think to yourself, “I must sit down and write a business plan?” Or have you started to write plans in the past but never seemed to have the time to finish them?

If you fall into one or more of these categories, you’re in very good company. Most businesses (other than those that are “forced” to produce a plan to apply for bank finance), don’t have the motivation, resources, time or knowledge to write a really effective plan.

This session led by Mark Painter of plana will help you understand the purpose and benefits of a business plan and help you to start writing a practical and effective plan today.

Topics covered in this session:

  • The benefits of a practical business plan
  • How to approach effective business planning
  • The format of the plana “4 Step Business Plan”
