Business planning

Let us help you achieve the objectives you have set your business. We actively help you to look at strategic planning from the outset together with the full financial implications of the decision you wish to make.

You’ve probably heard the saying that “If you don't know where you are going, you are certain to end up somewhere else...”

You’ve also probably been told many times that planning is crucial to success in business but somehow you’ve never quite got round to it.

You run your business by trusting your intuition, using instant decisions, and generally riding the rollercoaster rather than having a planned strategy.

That may well work and we do realise that gut feelings are a crucial business skill in successful entrepreneurs. But planning is still crucial. Research shows that those businesses that do plan and have clear strategies are far more successful.

Our strategic planning service helps you...

Agree on long-term strategic goals both personally and for the business.
Agree an operational strategy to meet those goals.
Monitor your results against those goals. 


Business plans are also regularly needed to support finance applications, especially bank lending.
We can assist with all aspects of the business plan including...

Business strategy and goal setting
Budgets
Cash flow forecasts
Profit forecasts
All written elements of the plan such as business background, marketing plan, SWOT analysis, markets, competition and all of the other key elements that need presenting in the most suitable way to lenders

 

After you've produced the plan, you need to monitor how you are doing against the plan and we can help you with this.
