Scottish Agriculture and industry is at a very exciting stage.

Vision & goals – where do you want to be and where are you now?

Succession – Are you in the position to be able to make the decisions that you need to make, have you a difficult conversation to have?

Business – Cash flows, accounts, budgets, understanding the market place

Practical – Actually filling out a farm business tenancy application – completing a bank loan application – drawing up a business plan to present to partners and the bank manager
