Start Your Own Business Powerpoint Presentation

Something slightly different! This Powerpoint presentation is used for our startup workshops and compliments our business plan template.

If you are planning to run a workshop on starting a business, you are welcome to edit and use this presentation as you wish and without charge.

If you are starting a business yourself, you may find this to be a useful step by step walk through the various stages of the process.

However, before starting, I would suggest that you download our free business plan template before starting. The two work well together to help you identify whether your idea has what it takes to succeed. If so, the steps you need to take to convert the theory into reality.
