Sustainable Business

SB undefined



Thank you for your interest in Sustainable Business - a handbook for starting a business.

This wikibook is based around /The business plan/, which is made ready as a template for you to use to plan your own business. We have incorporated sustainability planning throughout. To help you prepare your business plan, we have authored a range of supporting /Booklets/. These are small informative booklets that give some advice, examples or background thinking for the relevant sections of the business plan. If you prefer reading print, you can download a PDF or order a bound book from PediaPress. Before you start, we strongly suggest you read the Booklet, /Sustainable business practice/. This will help you to understand the sustainability references throughout the business plan more clearly.
