• Creation and production of video and digital course content to then be delivered on the platform, developed from the Project's existing 'Finance for Start Ups' course material
• In addition to a virtual classroom, the platform should be capable of hosting our bespoke, Excel based, forecasting toolkit and outputting finished financial plans in pdf (or similar) format.
