‣ About this Business Diary …
This Business Diaryis a learning and reflective tool to help you chart your team ‟ s progress in starting up a social enterprise . Ideally , this will be used in conjunction with a mentor led social start up training programme , but it can also be used on its own . The Business Diary guides you and your team members through seven sequential training sessions , and provides introductory content , planning and reflection tools to support your social enterprise start up process . We recommend that you read through the whole Business Diary before you embark on the Social Start Up journey so you are aware of the process and its end point from the start . This will allow you to effectively manage your expectations .
As the Social Start Up Project was focused upon EPGs operating within the agri-food sector , this Business Diary includes an informative section entitled Food Safety , Hygiene , Quality and Certification which was developed by the project partner Parco 3A specifically for this programme .
