There is many a business leader, of say a senior age and position, been with the operation for many years and has now grown cynical and a bit stale.  Has very little ambition left and offers little in the way of inspiration to the younger generation of company directors or chairmen.   They fail to keep up with modern trends in running businesses and have absolutely no idea what is taught at universities, be that in business or any other area.  Higher education offers a different way into business leadership.  It can be hard work but as with everything, the harder...

The way we start our business is going to vary from one person to another. You might have a guy who gets on well with people throughout school and on into college or university. At the school level, he would have been marked out early as a Prefect and more than likely on to Head Boy. People instinctively look to him for advice and a little confidence boost when working together on projects or schemes. This naturally singles him out later in life as one of those high achievers. There are many who start off that way but can fade...

Showing clearly how the product or service has been financed so far will indicate whether the loan or grant will be used to boost and grow the...
