Om denne e-bog
The guide includes real-life case studies, a downloadable business plan template, and links to financial spreadsheets such as cash flow templates, profit and loss statements, and gross margin budgets. It also supports producers to align their planning with national competency standards in business management.
The publication has been designed with flexibility in mind—it’s suitable for producers starting out, expanding, planning succession, or simply looking to take stock and make better-informed decisions.
Specific agribusiness templates have been developed to support you in documenting your own business plan and financial statements. You can download electronic versions and adapt them for your own purposes. Find them in the drop-down below or click the download buttons below the purchasing options.
The review and update of the guide was made possible by NSW’s Farm Business Resilience Program. The farm Business Resilience Program is jointly funded through the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund and NSW Government.
