Business Plan Competition

VCE Unit 1/2 Business Management 

 

Every year in Unit 1/2 Business Management, students develop a creative idea for a small business.  They are then required to develop a business plan.  The business plan must include: business name and function, location, legal structure, staffing requirements, marketing plan, pricing, and a financial plan. 

 

In past years, the students have then entered their business plans into a National competition.  This year however we were unable to do this so instead we developed an internal competition which was sponsored by AFS & Associates Chartered Accountants here in Bendigo. We are very pleased to announce that the winners for the best business plan are:

  • 1st Place ($200)  Tiahna Robinson (10 Jenkin)
    'NutriWheels' provides pre-made environmentally friendly, nutritionally balanced, delicious, predominately vegan or vegetarian snacks and lunches for school-aged children of busy families. The business aims to further provide employment opportunities for young people to build their skills, encourage physical activity and enhance their employability in the future. NutriWheels hopes to create change in the food industry by influencing other businesses to take on the same mission and promote health, fitness and environmental sustainability.

 

  • 2nd Place ($100)  Abigail O’Sullivan (10 Jones)
