Business Juggler® has been developed by the Centre for Competitiveness (CforC).

CforC is a private sector, independent, not-for-profit, membership organisation endorsed by the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland. It is funded by membership, sponsorship and the delivery of specialised business improvement services. Members of CforC are part of a network of leading organisations, both locally and internationally, which for over 15 years has a successful track record sharing best practice and an exclusive range of business improvement tools and techniques.

The questions and assessment in the Business Juggler® are based upon the most widely used business planning and improvement tool throughout Europe, the EFQM Excellence Model©. Business Juggler® has grown out of practical experience of working with small businesses and recognising the challenges that face owner-managers as they grow their business.
