Business Planning Resources
Business Planning
A robust business plan is an essential part of building our recovery after COVID. Ideally, museums and heritage sites should aim to cover their core business costs through core income - something that’s fallen away over the past year as we have become more reliant on grant funding to cover income gaps. Creating a new business plan can help you get back on track and grow your organisation.
Going through the business planning process is a critical requirement for many funding applications, it can help refocus our thinking and it can help get teams and boards on the same page. But it can be hard to know where to start, especially for smaller, volunteer run museums.
Below, you can download a free, simple business plan template to help you get going. And if you need more assistance, don’t forget to check out The Recovery Register for experts who can help.
