CC'14 Business Plan Surgery

With the business plan submission deadline only 4 short weeks away, we invited the top 30 CC’14 participants to attend 1-2-1 surgery sessions at Heriot-Watt University. 

The event provided our budding entrepreneurs with an opportunity to speak face-to-face with the Converge team and some of this year’s sponsors on their progress so far.

Representatives from Murgitroyd, Fearsomengine and Morton Fraser were on hand to answer any burning business-plan related questions, as well as former CC judge and mentor, Shahida Imani from Imani Financial Solutions.

With the Scottish weather on our side, Ian and Alex took no time firing up the BBQ so that our guests could enjoy an afternoon feast in the glorious sunshine!

Our participants now have until Friday 1st August at 5pm to submit their 20-page business plan. 

Each business plan will be assessed by the judging panel and ten will be shortlisted to receive 1-2-1 mentoring for 12 months following the competition.  The ten will then be re-evaluated and the final six will be selected to attend the Awards Dinner on the 30th September.

We wish them all the best of luck!

The Converge Challenge Team
