Market research: Help new businesses succeed!
Would you like a real-world project for your portfolio that shows a great blend of hands-on skills and strategic thinking? This might be the project for you.Plan Forward Coaching provides coaching and business advisory services to new and early-stage small businesses.But here’s a painful statistic:Almost 20% of businesses fail within their first year.And within the first 5 years? It’s 45%.New businesses face an uphill battle. Plan Forward wants to change that. We want to help our clients defy the odds and thrive, with a new, high-touch, high-ticket product that gives new (and new-ish) business owners everything they need to survive.But to do this, we need to confirm the major challenges faced by young businesses, and their top priorities. After all, why build a product that no-one needs?This project is the cornerstone. Plan Forward needs a few capable, research-savvy students to take on early market research.
