Business planning guidance for creative and cultural organisations

We commissioned consultants Dawn Langley and Susan Royce to develop business planning guidance for the arts and cultural sector which was clear, practical, and appropriate for organisations of all sizes, art forms and creative disciplines.

In these challenging times, the need for organisations to plan for business sustainability has never been greater. We commissioned consultants Dawn Langley and Susan Royce to develop an up-to-date Scottish version of guidance originally published by Arts Council England (ACE) - guidance for the arts and cultural sector which was clear, practical, and appropriate for organisations of all sizes, art forms and creative disciplines.

This guidance is structured around the business planning cycle, and has a clear aim: to help you write the best business plan you can.
