BUSINESS PLANS FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS

Number one, I’m Polish, so I didn’t have the confidence to prepare my own English plan. Number two, I’m not an accountant, so I couldn’t prepare cash flow forecasts. I know my own business though, and I’m so happy I found this business to help me with the technical side of raising finance.
