A business plan is a working tool that helps in the focus and development of your business. It is a strategic document to measure success and plan growth.

We are able, with information acquired from you, to prepare a professional plan in a format preferred by banks and investors. In today's competitive world a comprehensive plan is essential for any business.

There is no standard format but we will help you develop a business plan, for example:

• An executive summary highlighting the main points - to catch people's attention.
• Details of key personnel with an organisational chart showing individual responsibilities.
• Market research - details of competitors and how your product or service fits into the market.
• Your marketing plan - how you are going to get your product or service in front of potential customers.
• Financial information - eg key ratios. These can be used to compare your business' performance against industry benchmarks.
• How you will manage credit, expenditure, stock planning and control, and debtors and creditors.
• A cashflow forecast indicating the amount of funding you need and why.
• Financial forecasts for a three to five-year period.
• How a loan will be repaid, how investors can get their money back, and when.
