Most startup businesses find it very difficult to raise finance from the normal lending institutions. It requires them to have a comprehensive business plan to get the required levels of funding, and a knowledge of how to approach the banks. We can help with both of these issues.

A business plan is not just a case of going through the motions for the sake of raising finance - it is an essential way of testing the viability of your business concept. There are two essential elements to any business plan: marketing and financial planning.

The Marketing information will include information on your products or services, your proposed market and customers, your likely competitors, the location of your business, etc. Many new businesses fail because they do not take account of one or more of these vital areas.

We can help you to construct financial models to test the viability of your business. These models will allow you modifying sales, costs, etc so that you will be able to test the health of the business in different market scenarios, and to have a proof of concept - that is to say, that your business is fundamentally profitable.

Depending on your business and location, we may be able to help you with grant funding.
