-Review the resources which have been identified as being required in the sections of the venture plan prepared so far.
- Use the resource identification grid in Table 6.4 (overleaf) to identify which resources are already available to the venture.
- Which resources will be required, but are not currently available to the venture?
- For each of these, identify the options available for obtaining this resource, e.g.:
-Which organisation/person has this resource and could it be borrowed at no/minimal cost? (these may include existing organisa¬tions including public and corporate organisations, which often have under-used assets)
- Can it be bought-in or rented on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis?
- Cost of purchase?
-What alternative options are available if the resource cannot be obtained, e.g. substitutes or effect on the venture of the resource not being available?
