Dragons den workshop

The second workshop was held by Chris Walker. The aim of this workshop was to create a business plan for a bio science related business.

The study of business is very important in most career pathways and is implemented in nearly every subject area.

We had to create a business plan from scratch and record a promotional video of the product or services provided. We then had to present our idea to the group.

Business plan 

It took our group a long time to come with an idea for our business. However in the end we settled on the sarcastic and satirical idea of a pyramid scheme. The company was Green schemes LTD and we sold green tea and weight loss pills that included all organic substances.

We used the headline ‘it’s not a pyramid, it’s a tower where everyone makes money!’

A small number of sellers would be chosen to begin with to sell the herbal tea from door to door. Friends and family would be recruited to begin with until the company expands.

The video

A crowd-funder video was created where we promoted our business Green Schemes LTD.

The video focused on how you can make easy money fast by becoming a seller of green schemes products.

Thoughts and opinions

I thought this workshop was a success overall. The workshop helped us learn about some basic business concepts.

As many areas of work use business terms and concepts in the work environment I though this workshop was very useful in helping us to use these concepts.
