Watch this video to find out how having a business plan (and a grandma) helped Albert become a lemonade magnate.

A business plan not only provides a roadmap for business success but is essential to attract funding.

Albert’s business plan helped him to:

-Learn about his industry, market and competitors.
-Write down exactly where he was in the market and where he was headed.
-Identify challenges he may come across and work out strategies to avoid or overcome them.
-Understand business finances, including managing cash-flow and determining your break-even.
-Set specific goals, timeframes for achieving them and how he’ll measure performance.
-Make sound business decisions that focus his activities, maximise his resources and give him a competitive edge.
