Business Plans
Having a strong business plan is fundamental if you’re starting (or expanding) a business. It adds value when you’re looking to obtain finance or investment for your business; gives you direction and focus and above all helps you to confirm your business makes financial sense.
We can help you prepare your business plan, review your forecasts and guide you through the process of starting your own business.
Forecasts
Forecasting your business performance and cash requirements can be a valuable for any business owner or manager. It allows you to devise realistic targets to work towards and so can actually serve to drive your business forwards.
Forecasting your business’ cash requirements is not only good for your business but not doing so can even affect your business’ survival. Perfectly profitable businesses can fail as a result of a lack of cash and there is often most danger of this when you may least expect it – for example, when you’re growing rapidly.
We can work with you to prepare quality forecasts on which you can make business decisions.
We forecast with flexibility in mind so that we can easily update for changes in income, the timing of receipts or alterations in costs as you progress though the forecast period.
We’ll even fix our fee for your certainty.
Full Telephone and Email Support
When you’re starting out in business you’ll inevitably have a lot of questions and that’s why we offer full telephone and email support for general business advice as standard, so you can be comfortable that we’re not charging you just for picking up the phone or responding to your email.
We’ll always respond to you rapidly as we understand that you’re looking for answers quickly.
