Having a business plan, is key to ensuring that your business ends up being how you want it to be

Are you a small business struggling to complete a business plan in order to run your business or required by your bank as a condition of a loan?

Or maybe you are a larger, mature business looking for some help with some strategic business planning?

You wouldn’t try and climb a mountain without being prepared (map, compass, equipment, food drink, etc) so why would you start or run a business without knowing where you are going?
Whatever your planning need – you have come to the right place!

What does a business plan do?

* Gets the ideas from your head onto paper
* Gives you clarity and focus for your business
* Allows you to budget and manage your cash flow
* Helps you identify your products, services and the market

What’s in a business plan?

* Vision – your future aspirations
* Mission – what you do for your clients
* Objectives – defined targets for your business
* Strategies – how are you going to get there
* Plans & Actions – what you are going to do to successfully achieve it

A working business plan need not cost the earth or take weeks to develop. The UKBA™ can do this interactively with the business owner in less than a day at a cost of £600 or less! - This is less than you would pay for a plumber or for a garage to repair your car and is certainly more cost effective than your accountant!

In my experience working with both SMEs and corporations, a consise business plan helps progress a business or idea forward to greater success more than virtually anything else that a business owner can do. As long as it contains objectives and actionable plans that are reviewed on a regular basis.
