Business planning
We work with both new and established businesses and organisations to turn ideas into investment-ready business plans — independent, evidence-based analysis that gives funders confidence and gives clients a clear way forward.
Our business plans include:
- Understanding the baseline position of the organisation
- Market assessments
- Benchmarking – case studies assessments
- Strategic analysis
- Governance & delivery
- Management & staffing structures
- Detailed financial appraisal including sensitivity analysis
- Risk assessment
- Approaches to monitoring & evaluation
We also undertake due diligence exercises and economic and concept feasibility studies.
Our clients include Eden Project North, English Heritage, Natural Resources Wales, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, Pembrokeshire County Council, Elan Valley Trust, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Forest Holidays, the Northumberland National Park Authority and a private landowner developing luxury lodges in Dorset.
