Business Planning

Give us a call, we can help

Over the years we have helped hundreds of people clarify what they want to do and the implications of doing it. In some cases they have changed their minds and not gone ahead, in others they have gone ahead with a much better understanding of what is likely to happen or have modified their plans to work within a budget or operational restrictions.

The process of producing the business plan can bring confidence and increased determination to succeed.

Plan Format:

The finished document generally involves providing information about:

The structure and legal form of the business, the source of existing funds, ownership.
The key personnel and organisational plan.
A description of the products or services provided
Market research covering an outline of the market and test marketing.
Marketing plan addressing type of customer, competitors and pricing policy.
Sales forecast for one or more years.
Operational statement covering premises, materials, suppliers, work force, administrative and operational equipment, transport, insurance and licenses.

Profit forecast.
Cash flow forecasts.
Funding Proposed  

The average plan runs to around 25 pages of text and spreadsheets. The format and standards are approved by banks and Business Links. In addition we can provide balance sheets, training plans and ancillary information.

The standard format is best for raising bank finance. We also produce modified formats specially designed for business angels and venture capitalists. In all cases we will discuss with you the precise purpose of your plan and the target audience, so that a tailor made plan can be produced.
