About WorkSavvy
WorkSavvy uses "Sustainability from the Startup" to describe the outcome of our work and because WorkSavvy seeks to encourage business startups with right purpose. The Startup Savvy website offers a wealth of information, many free ideas and observations, tools and techniques, as well as resources and further sources to anyone seeking to set up in business. This desire comes from a deep passion for entrepreneurship and the positive role that it can play in the world.
We became a B Corp because of our dedication to the purpose of the B Corporation and a desire to promulgate its message.
WorkSavvy, works with startups, before they exist and in their early stages-to help entrepreneurs with personal development so they are in the best possible position to succeed in their new venture, also with business development in all its aspects, and above all in business strategy, planning, financing and marketing. Their approach to business planning is that it is essential, but takes many forms. There are some key ingredients to all business plans, but there is no one-size-fits-all. It can vary from back-of-the envelope style to the bound weighty document with graphs, tables and diagrams. WorkSavvy works closely with their clients to ensure that their strategic planning is going to work.
The Change We Seek®
• WorkSavvy's mission is to work with entrepreneurs on personal and business development so that their startups have the greatest chance of a sustainable future-by caring about people and the planet as well as profits.
