How to run a Small Business

If you want to give yourself the best chance to succeed in a new business, this course is for you.
This course from the Garden Design Academy aims to make sure your business is one of the successful ones!. You not only learn how to start a business, but under the guidance of a professional business expert, you plan and initiate development of a business venture.
There are two parts to the course:
In the first part you learn about how to run a business.
You then either start a business (this may be very small, or larger), or review the running of an established business. Over several lessons your tutor guides you through several stages to assess, analyze and improve operations in this "real life situation".
Twelve lessons cover marketing, planning, budgeting, reviewing progress, improving profit and more.
Some schools emphasise the learning of factual information; and assessing your retention of that information. At the Academy we feel that approach is very little different to buying and using a book. If that is all you want, this is not the course for you. This course is for people who want something more; something that will make a difference to your chance of business success.
