A one page Business Plan for creative people!

Business plans don’t have a very good track record with creative folk. After begrudgingly filling out a traditional plan to appease a lawyer or bank manager, they’re relegated to the bottom drawer to gather dust and never be seen again. Until now! We’ve crafted a nifty one page business plan (yes, just one page!) designed with the needs of creative practitioners in mind. It’ll help you map out all the important details of your business (think: business registration, key stakeholders, marketing, wellbeing strategies, and more) and act as a handy point of reference as you ride the rollercoaster that is creative business.
