Budgeting for Growth #4 - City of Whittlesea Business Network

Next date: Wednesday, 03 June 2026 | 10:00 AM to 01:30 PM

In 2026, the City of Whittlesea, a Business Friendly Council, is bringing a four-part series of financial workshops exclusive to Whittlesea Business Network members.

Workshop 4: Budgeting for Growth

Growth without a plan can place pressure on cash, teams, and operations.
Growth with a clear budget creates direction, structure, and better decision-making.

This 3-hour interactive workshop is designed for business owners who want to step into the next 12 months with a clear financial plan for how their business will operate, invest, and grow.

You’ll build your own 12-month business budget during the session and work through the practical decisions that sit behind it — where to allocate resources, what growth may require, and how to plan for the risks.

What to expect:

Build your 12-month budget live during the session
Resource allocation exercise to support growth decisions
Group discussion on budgeting considerations
Practical guidance on turning plans into structured numbers

Resources you’ll take back into your business:

Annual Budget Template
Forecasting Guide
Growth Planning Worksheet

What you'll bring to this interactive workshop:

Laptop or other device
Notepad and pen

If you’re looking to move into the next financial year with clearer direction, stronger planning habits, and a budget that supports your growth decisions — this session will give you the structure and confidence to do exactly that.

Places are limited to 25 - Reserve your spot today!

This workshop is exclusive to members of our City of Whittlesea Business Network, which is free to join (the workshop itself has a fee).
