Preparing a
Business Plan Writing a business plan is absolutely crucial in starting up your business. You will need it for any investment you require, and when starting a business a clear idea of your aims, methods and what will set you apart is vital to make sure the start up is both successful and smooth. The plan will need to be detailed, but make sure it is concise with a clear overview so potential investors can quickly see if the idea seems viable. Grand concepts are, after all, what starts most business ideas, but specific details of what you plan to achieve and indeed how are equally important to show you have a true understanding of your product, service and potential customers. Make sure your research is completed before preparing your plan, and fully understand the market in the areas you intend to cover. The whole process can, and should, take time to do properly. Break it down into sections and allow enough time on each section to offer a comprehensive and detailed analysis that is easy to understand. Remember, most investors will be unlikely to have your knowledge of the market or your passion for the idea. Most banks and investment houses have a clear guide to how they expect to see the information presented and how much should be included, so it is a good idea to check online to find out exactly what research you should be doing. A good accountant should be able to help you to organise figures, forecasts and projected growth and profit, provided you have the market research properly done. The basics will include an introduction called the Executive Summary,
8
followed by a much more detailed break down of each of these points.
Executive Summary The written outline at the beginning of your plan which should outline the product or service being produced, your management team, your place in the current market, your track record in business, operations, financial projections and of course the funding you will require along with expected return on investment. Any weak points should also be mentioned, along with planned remedies or solutions.
Business Description Your overall plans for the future of the business, its mission, goals and objectives, how the business will develop, it’s origins and those who will be involved.
Market Definition and Investigation A run down on the current market or industry, including current and future outlook, your planned audience according to demographic, location, buying power and motivations. It will also describe the current need for your business and what sort of market share you are aiming to achieve.
Products and / or Service A full and frank break down of the products and services you will provide. Price points, quality, use and requirements, as well as a look at existing products and services already in the market place.
Management and Operations This should cover a full cascade of how and by whom the business will be managed and operated, its legal structures, requirements (licences etc) and key players. A full explanation of your core management teams, the skills they will bring to the business and how they will help the business to succeed.
Sales and Marketing You have described both the product and the market, now you need to outline how you will reach and sell to those buyers. Your marketing budget, firm research on advertising, marketing, web design and all other aspects of selling your product. Also look at how your competition market themselves – how will you capture their audience, or tap into as yet undecided customers?
Look at how your finances will be managed and structured. Return on investment projections should figure, as should security. Then include: • A projected balance sheet • A projected income statement • A projected cash flow statement
Conclusion This section should be a simple conclusion written when all else is complete, stressing your competence and the sound research behind your belief in your business idea, along with any specifics for a particular investor.
‑Correct documentation from throughout the plan, carefully ordered and clearly highlighted where relevant. Each of these points should be analysed in much greater depth, with relevant references and evidence in your appendices. Check with your bank and / or accountant for full details, and be sure to proof read properly – this is also best done by a second reader as proof reading your own work is never quite as accurate.
Finances A key section. Discuss a key start up budget and how it will be used.

Getting Ahead As A Small Business
If you run a small business, you’ll understand that for many, cash fl ow is tight; budgets are small and every single idea or plan must be maximised to its full potential. Efficiency is key, and a proactive approach is necessary to keep things moving forward. When cash flow is limited, you need ideas waiting in the wings to take on and effectively deal with unexpected challenges as well as remaining competitive with large businesses. Here are our top tips for proactive belt tightening and maximising potential:
HIRE WELL: Small businesses often start as a single man operation or family business, but the time soon comes to expand the workforce. It can be tempting to work strongly on personality fit in a small team; after all if there are only a few employees, you will be spending a lot of time together, so personality does matter. Nonetheless, skill and experience are key to the success of your business. A candidate
10
with excellent contacts and experience in the local area will be a true asset to the company, saving you time on training and network building.
TIME MANAGEMENT: Make sure you and your team understand how to make the most of their time. Set up a company policy on time management, be it a diary, daily task lists and priority meetings to ensure every single working moment is utilised to its maximum. It is easy to get caught up in research, social media or networking, but keeping on top of revenue increase should always be a major focus.
OUTSOURCE: Being a small business and keeping costs down can often mean management and staff alike spend a lot of time multitasking, which
Time Management:
“It is easy to get caught up in research, social media or networking, but keeping on top of revenue increase should always be a major focus” is understandable and makes a lot of financial sense. On the flip side, if a designated task is not one of your skills, and your time would be more valuable spent on another aspect of the business, then think about outsourcing. Marketing can be done via agencies; if you want to use social media to promote your business (and you should!) but are not as au fait with it as you could be, you may be surprised how little a part time consultant may charge, while you work elsewhere at better rates.
ASK THE CUSTOMER: Keep track on customer feedback. Give out a comments form, or ask for feedback online, and via socialmedia and then really do look at and use the information. If a process has drawn out because of information you failed to provide, look again at the process. If better quality products are deemed worth the cost, stock them. Listen to the customer and you will find that the end user often has a brilliant insight into streamlining your business.
NETWORK: As a small business with a matching budget, resources are limited, but joining some networking groups and using social media to chat to likeminded businesses can be a real boon in stretching those resources that bit further. A job can be outsourced at reduced rates; you may find more trustworthy relationships and build up a network of referrals for work. At the very least you will be able to find insight into local markets and issues, and hear of opportunities before they go public.
REVIEW SUPPLIERS: A good, reliable supplier is valuable to the small business, but many will regularly incorporate price increases and may not remain competitive. Review suppliers regularly from business insurance and energy to service providers and offi ce supplies to make sure you are getting the best deal available.
PRINTING POLICY: Let all your employees know that printing for the sake of it is not necessary. Provided you have good back ups, printing is an astonishingly large business expense, so printing every last email may well be costing your business more than you think, as well as being terribly unfriendly to the environment.

FLexible working Two FIFths of UK business managers reluctant to hire people who require FLexible working KnowYourMoney.co.uk has commissioned a survey among more than 2,000 full-time workers in the UK, 750 of which were managers or directors. It has revealed businesses’ attitudes towards flexible working: • 59% of business managers and directors have seen an increase in employees demanding greater flexibility in their job (hours or location) • However, 60% have not made any changes to flexible working policies in the past year • Over two fifths (41%) are reluctant to hire people who require or demand flexible working: >> This figure increases to 60% amongst managers in mid-sized businesses (100-249 employees) • Among full-time employees, meanwhile, 39% consider their employer to have outdated work structures and practices >> 42% of employees do not think their employers care about their mental health Three fifths of UK businesses have failed to update their flexible working policies to accommodate employees’ demands, new research from KnowYourMoney.co.uk has revealed. The online comparison website commissioned a study among more than 2,000 UK adults, all of whom work full-time in UK organisations and 750 of which work at management or director level. It found that 59% of managers have seen an increase in employees demanding greater flexibility in their job (hours or location) over the past year. However, 60% of managers have not changed their flexible working policies in this period. Indeed, 41% of managers do not believe employees perform their jobs as effectively when they work remotely. Meanwhile, almost half (49%) feel they have to regularly check in on employees not working in the office to ensure they are being productive. KnowYourMoney.co.uk’s research also showed that two in five (41%) managers are reluctant to employ individuals who require or demand flexibleworking as part of their job.
12
This figure jumps to 60% amongst managers in mid-sized enterprises (100-249 employees). From the employee perspective, 39% of full-time workers consider their employers’ work structures and practices to be outdated, while 42% do not feel their employers care about their mental health. Nic Redfern, Director of KnowYourMoney.co.uk, said: “It’s no longer good enough to offer employees a decent salary and an impressive company name on their CV. Employers must do more to attract and retain top talent, but our research shows that many are failing in this regard. “Today, employees yearn for a healthier work-life balance and benefits that will nurture their mental and physical health. It’s surprising, therefore, so many managers are overlooking the benefits of flexible working. “Working with employees to develop modern flexible working practices, which recognise the needs of both the individual and the business, can bring huge benefits. Not only can this build a healthier and happier workforce, it can also improve the organisation’s productivity.”

Relationship Building 101
So, you have your product, or your service, or your idea, and hopefully funding, premises and equipment. What you also need, in large part, are people skills. No matter how unique the product, there is bound to be a similar solution somewhere, and in our global market place, simply having something to sell is no longer enough. Businesses need to take the time and energy to develop proper relationships with customers, potential customers, and staff alike to maximise potential on every level. The social media explosion is a great indication of just how successfully corporations are managing this aspect of their business. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest – all are excellent ways to enter in to the close personal relationship most adults have with their phone. Social media is not the only way, however, and relationship building starts at home as well as in the wider reaches of your community. Good relationships with employees are crucial to a successful business. Happy, fulfilled staff will always make more effort than those who feel undervalued or underused, and loyalty is impossible to buy but easy to earn. Communicate properly with your staff, take their comments and opinions on board. Keep your word and understand what makes them tick and keeps them motivated. When it comes to clients and contacts, apply similar principles. Networking is great – be professional but make the most of what contacts you have, and try attending business networking events to cultivate better relationships with suppliers, competitors and local businesses. Trust can be such an important sales tool, and by keeping your guarantees and being truthful and fair, you will win a trust in your brand
14
which will hopefully kick in to create brand loyalty and word of mouth marketing. Repeat business is the mainstay of many organisations. Reward loyalty with discount schemes or points, and keep those warm customers returning and spreading the word about your services. Regular contact via email or phone is great, keeping you in the customers mind and ensuring the personal touch remains. Listen. In sales, listening skills are an integral part of training, but should also apply to every part of your business. Listen to what employees say. When meeting with suppliers, engage and find out exactly what they can offer, build a relationship by having a dialogue rather than simply being pitched at. Show interest and encourage people to talk to you, find out as much as you can about potential clients and again, engage, ask questions and really hear the answers. A sales pitch or greeting can only go so far – to truly build a proper relationship with customers, inject some personality and make sure they remember the person as well as the brand. Complaints... We all make mistakes, after all. Welcome complaints, and work out your best policy to deal with them. It is often said that people will tell 10 times as many people about a negative experience than they would a positive; so don’t leave people dissatisfied and bad mouthing your company. Investigate properly, take responsibility where it’s due, and make sure you rectify problems graciously – this will probably be remembered as well as not making an error in the first place. Don’t underestimate the power of a gesture of goodwill.
ACAS
for Small Businesses One of the biggest assets for any small business will be the staff, but for a small business owner, HR can be a time consuming and complex field to manage. Whether you are looking to hire new employees, train the ones you have or deal with HR issues, for small businesses without an integral HR department, ACAS can be an essential service. ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service) are an excellent resource for small business owners. Their website has a wealth of Code of Practice advice and template policy guides to help employers with issues from disciplinary procedure and grievances to good working practice, pay disputes, and much more. There are also employer network forums, online tailored training courses and an invaluable helpline (0300 123 1100) which can be accessed by employers or staff for advice on all issues, best practice and how to ensure you operate your
company recruitment and HR within legal guidelines. In the case of non resolution of issues, ACAS also offer an individual conciliation service. This can be used by anyone intending to lodge a claim with an Employment Tribunal. Any potential claim must be fl agged to ACAS although the service is not mandatory. ACAS will attempt to help you to reach a mutually agreeable solution before a Tribunal can be involved. This can help both employees and businesses avoid the stress, cost and potential consequences of using the tribunal system and offer a faster resolution. This early conciliation service can be accessed up until a hearing date in the event of no resolution, giving employees and companies every available opportunity to solve the problem before this point. For more information, help or advice, visit www.acas.org.uk or call 0300 123 1100 to talk to an ACAS advisor.

DATA PROTECTION & YOUR BUSINESS
Is your business keeping to the necessary standards of Data Protection? Failure to comply can lead to a number of consequences, including: • Legal action and subsequent fi nes (up to £500,000) • Loss of reputation the event of a Data leak (notable cases recently in the press serve as an excellent warning!) • Loss of crucial information If your business uses or stores personal information, then you must adhere to the rules as laid out in the Data Protection Act 1998. These rules apply to any such cases of the storage or use of data, including: • Staff and interviewee data • Customer or account holder data • Payment or delivery information • CCTV The Act applies to any information you hold about living individuals including address, contact details, age, employment information and more.
16
The steps you must take if any of this data is held by your business are: • Allow people to opt out of having their data stored. • Inform people of how the data is used and how they can see it. • The data should be kept secure and up to date at all times, and should be the minimum required for your business. • Data should not be kept longer than needed. • Data should only be processed for specific, lawful reasons. • Telling the Information Commissioners Offi ce that you are processing data unless you are exempt. i.e. Data is processed only for admin, payroll, marketing or PR purposes, or if you use no automated / computerised processes. Your policies should work to reduce any possibilities of breaches in data protection – this is largely common sense, but some basic rules should include: LIMITED ACCESS – information should be stored securely, passworded or in a locked fi le, with access only available to those who require it; i.e. payroll information should only be accessible to those involved in payroll, or addresses to HR / Interviewers. Do not use laptops or portable equipment which can be easily stolen or accessed. SECURITY CHECK – ensure that data is not given to the wrong people by checking identity. COPYING – if you need to transfer data, make sure it is done in a safe and secure manner. All staff should be made aware of the importance of Data Protection, and fully versed in the appropriate storage and treatment of any data collected as well as their own level of access within the business.
s e t i s b e W for Business
In these days of E-Commerce, online advertising and marketing, eBay, sales sites and more, most small businesses are aware of the necessity for a well constructed, attractive and useful website, but surprisingly there are many SME’s out there who still have not utilized the internet as a sales and marketing tool for their company, and even more who are paying high fees for websites which are hard to manage and worse, don’t always meet the needs of the individual business. In the early days of the World Wide Web, technology was new and the processors were clunky, so you needed skilled developers to develop and deploy a website. These are traditionally very expensive, and have led to the evolution of new tools with which to create your websites and upload them to your provider, although they still required a certain level of design skill to ensure the websites looked professional.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (CMS) Content Management Systems have been developed so that companies without in-house internet related technical expertise can actually manage their own websites content without the need for a web designer. They allow for changes and additions to be made by the website owner rather than an expensive website designer. The Benefits Include: • Changes and additions can be made by your company instantaneously when required without requiring an agreed schedule with an outside website designer or needless delays. • A reduction in the number of people needing to have input to the website. • A more concise, streamlined authoring procedure. • Consistency in style and content. • More relevant, user friendly site navigation. • Better fl exibility.
• The ability to author the site from a variety of decentralized locations. • Author control avoiding unnecessary information duplication. • User controlled capacity for growth. • Massively reduced costs after initial set up. CMS sites are available with or without SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services depending on what you need the site to do. For some, the website will be advertised clearly and used by regular customers. For others, rankings on the major search engines and ease of fi nding is paramount, and this is where a cost effective SEO service really comes in to its own. While in some instances it is necessary to perform on-going, long term SEO for sought after keywords, it isn’t always a requirement. In the case of sought after terms for example ‘Business Gas’ or ‘Business Electricity’, this need for ongoing SEO is obvious. The main points here are hard to pinpoint, as Google regularly change the algorithms they use to structure results, but in our experience, look at: • Website Structure and Navigation. • Website Content – relevance and interest. • Key words / subject use (do not overuse keywords unless it fi ts the content). • Backlinks - relevant directory websites. • Backlinks - other relevant websites, forums and blogs. Properly done, these points can make your website work in the way you need it to. Look for an SEO company who are able to advise on the most effective and cost effective ways to achieve this, and do check the pricing structure as many organizations insist on a monthly fee rather than campaign pricing, so it pays to do your research.

Disaster
Continuity & Recovery Planning Staff, stock, market – all things which can have an enormous bearing on your business successes, but a sobering picture has been painted recently about the affect on business of poor disaster planning. A vast majority of businesses who have not planned properly and are affected by ‘disaster’ fail to recover in the year after the event. Terrorist action, natural disasters like storm damage or flooding, as well as fraud, unexpected loss or fi re can all have a catastrophic effect on the small business, and while there is no way to reduce the risk of a hurricane or earthquake (fortunately unlikely to affect us here in the Home Counties), good planning can mitigate some of the worst long term damage in the event of a problem occurring. For smaller businesses, it is unlikely you will have multiple premises to worry about, or huge stocks which cannot be replaced, so put together a simple plan and make sure all key employees know and understand how to implement it in order to minimize disruption for clients, staff and day to day business. Continuity is key to keeping the business running, even at a skeleton level, until you are able to put your recovery plan into place. WHEN WRITING YOUR PLAN, ASSESS RISKS SUCH AS: • Fire / Flooding • Communications / Equipment Failure • Legal Action • Terrorism Threats • Product Defects / Issues • Supply Failure Organise a comprehensive list of important contacts, and keep a copy somewhere off premises so that you can contact crucial suppliers and
18
customers in the event of disaster, ensuring this is securely stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act. Plan a communication strategy – who and how are your priorities and how can you prevent losing important clients? How long can your business survive for example if you rely on telesales staff or customers using your website? EMPLOYEES – make sure they will be protected from injury or financial loss via insurances and proper Health and Safety procedures in the event of an emergency. Make sure all staff understands Health and Safety Procedure thoroughly. Standard Health and Safety Legislation means you must ensure your employees: • Understand evacuation procedure. • Understand fire policy and what to do if a colleague is injured or taken ill. It is also a good idea to ensure that no crucial information is held by one single person. Skill sharing means that in the event of any disaster, you should have a back up person responsible for each task. INSURANCE - Acts of Nature are not always covered by business insurance, and some do not cover Acts of Terrorism. Make sure you have ample insurance to cover not only loss or damage to premises, but also stock, equipment, salaries and resources. Do ensure your policy is updated to include any improvements made or new technologies installed.
Shared
Leave NEW REGULATIONS FOR BOTH PARENTS ON STATUTORY PARENTAL LEAVE
Regulations put into place in 2014 allow both parents greater flexibility in sharing their Statutory Parental Leave (SPL) and also applies to parents adopting. Government figures suggest that up to 285,000 working couples are be eligible to share leave according to these regulations, changing the way employers and couples see maternity / paternity leave. The rules still mean that mums must take a minimum of 2 weeks (4 weeks in a manual or factory type role) Maternity Leave immediately after birth as legal recovery time; but the following 50 weeks leave can be shared, and this includes the initial 37 weeks paid leave, reflecting changes to modern family life in which fathers often do as much
home parenting as mothers. 2 weeks Paternity Leave is still available for fathers, but Shared Parental Leave has now replaced Additional Parental Leave. Parents can decide how to split this leave, which is flexible enough to allow parents to swap their entitlements by allowing up to 3 periods of SPL during 50 weeks. As business owners, there have of course been ramifications. Small businesses especially have to adjust, especially if SPL is taken in multiple chunks of time. Where a small business may have previously employed cover on a short term contract, many now find this not really a viable option. As always, we fully recommend speaking to ACAS about any difficulties to find out best practice to ensure the best solution for both employee and organisation, but it may be better to look into temp workers and or job share initiatives to help maintain the correct staffing levels at minimal cost. Leave taken in a continuous, unbroken period of leave is a statutory right which employers cannot refuse. A discontinuous block will include 1 or more breaks where the employee returns to work. This needs to be discussed as discontinuous leave can only be taken with both employer and employee agreement according to fair requirements on both sides. After the request for discontinuous leave has been made, the employer and employee have 14 calendar days to reach agreement. If discontinuous leave is not agreed then leave must be taken as a continuous block. It is a good idea to review company Maternity / Paternity Leave policy and to update to accommodate the new regulations, and to make employees aware of their entitlement, how to apply and the requirements for entitlement to SPL. This should also include details about how many periods of leave will be available, the process and person responsible for handling notice to book leave, the time limits involved, Keep in Touch Day policy and the payments available. For more details about the new regulations and how best to implement them, please go to www.acas.org.uk or www.gov.uk
