  • Detailed financial appraisal
  • Funding profile

Beyond business planning, we also offer a range of complementary services including due diligence exercises and economic and concept feasibility studies.

We have delivered business planning and feasibility projects for a diverse portfolio of clients — from Eden Project North through to the Attenborough Nature Centre, Ditherington Flax Mill,  Haverfordwest Castle, a private landowner developing luxury lodges in Dorset, Forest Holidays and the Northumberland National Park Authority.   Alongside a number of National Lottery Heritage Fund based projects.
