Background
SMEs don't need a 200-page technical report. They need prioritisation. See the dedicated budget priorities page for a sequenced spending plan at different budget levels.
Questions to ask yourself
- What are the top five risks right now?
- Which could stop the business trading?
- Which could cause legal or customer problems?
- What are the quick wins, and what needs budget?
- What should be done in the next 30, 90, and 180 days?

Build your own one-page roadmap
Three steps. An hour.

- 02For each remaining risk, write the smallest next action.
- 03Put names against each action. No name = no action.
