Many in agriculture spend a lot of time focussing on improving the production aspects, however often they neglect to spend time on the business management side of things.

This short course will teach you the fundamentals of business management for your agricultural business.

The course covers 8 main topics, including:

• Creating a plan for your business – to ensure your reach your objectives
• Are you selling the right product, to the right customer – who is willing to pay what it is really worth?
• People management – fundamentals to help you manage staff, family and contractors
• Managing cash flow and financial fundamentals – stay on top of your finances
• Time management – where to spend your time, to get the greatest output
• Sales and negotiation – using sales to become a price setter, not a price taker
• Business systems – setting the business up to run without you
• How to grow your business – using the ABDI Business Growth Pyramid

You’ll get access to over 25 video / audio recordings and other business materials from business mentors and advisers. These are specialists who have decades of experience advising agricultural businesses on how to improve their businesses.

You can either watch these as videos (recommended), or you can download the audio to listen to while you do other things. There’ll also be worksheets and templates you can fill out and apply in your own business.

This short course takes the key elements from all of our other courses, and distills it down into the most important parts to focus on, so you can get started on improving your business skills.

There is no set time for you to complete the course, you can do it in a single sitting, or you can do it over several weeks. We would recommend completing it within no more than 12 weeks though, so you make the changes in your business while they are fresh, and you maintain the momentum.
