Whether you work in your own small business, or whether you’re working for somebody else, you will probably be required to develop concepts or products.

2: Business Planning

A Business Plan is simply as the name implies — a plan about your business. It’s used to look ahead, allocate resources, focus on key points and prepare for problems and opportunities. It’s at this stage where we also look at how you offer your services and establishing the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that you can then test with some marketing.

Be one step ahead from the get-go — not only will having a plan for your business help you get to market faster, it also helps you gain clarity, focus and confidence.

Arm yourself with the know-how about standard legal requirements involving Work, Health and Safety and commercial leases as well as legal documents that improve your professionalism like codes of conduct and privacy statements.

They may have a very real market value and they help improve your business performance. Intellectual property has to do with the ownership of these ideas and concepts.
