Business Planning

A Business Plan can increase the chances of success for a small business. It forces management to think realistically about the business in developing goals, strategies, and forecasting financial results. The financial forecast of a business plan can act as a standard for comparing actual financial reporting results. A business plan is a necessity for small businesses just starting out and can be very helpful to businesses needing financing or wanting to assess their competition, market, or long term strategy. A business plan can also help entrepreneurs develop and evaluate a business idea prior to start-up.

I can prepare the entire business plan (with input from the client, of course), or I can assist in preparation of a proportion of the plan (such as the market analysis, computer analysis, or financial forecast). A typical full business plan for a small non-manufacturing business cost about £ 500 plus VAT.
